3

Do not force the actuator to open beyond its fully open

position. Do not use any type of tool to open the actuator.

116°

2

Properly insert the FPC at the positioning part of the connector.

Locking the FPC while it is partially inserted, may cause lock

damage, disconnection of the FPC, or continuity fault.

1.FPC/FFC insertion procedure.

Connector installed on the board.

Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger

2

Fully insert the FPC in the connector parallel to

mounting surface, with the exposed conductive

traces facing down.

Rotate down the actuator until firmly closed. It is

critical that the inserted FPC/FFC is not moved and

remains fully inserted.

2.FPC/FFC removal

Fully open the actuator.

Carefully withdraw the FPC/FFC exercising caution

not to deform or damage it.

Do not forcefully bend the FFC/FPC upward.

Consult FFC/FPC manufacturer for the

recommended bend radiuses.

4

For connectors with multiple contacts, such as 80

pos. rotate down the actuator pushing at both ends.

5

Application of excessive force to the inserted FPC/FFC may cause damage to

connector and may affect the reliability of electrical connection.

If specific application requires continuous or repeated pull or bend of the inserted

FPC/FFC, assure that the forces are NOT transmitted directly to the connector.
