Precautions

As illustrated (Fig. 5) angle insertion may cause electrical discontinuity when the FPC is deflected in use.

The FPC should be fully inserted, with its positioning tabs fully behind the protrusions on both sides of the con-

nector’s insertion slot (Fig. 6).

[ Routing of the FPC (FPC fully inserted / actuator closed) ]

Do not make any sharp bends of FPC close to the immediate exit from the connector (Fig. 7)

• To avert insertion of the FPC at an angle, consideration should be given to securing enough insertion space

when designing the board lay-out. Insertion will be difficult when the FPC is too short.

• Contact FPC manufacturer for information about the bending specifications.
