Hirose 0.5 mm Pitch 50 Way Straight Female FPC Connector with ZIF Vertical Contact FH40

Hirose FH40 0.5 mm Pitch 50 Way Straight Female FPC Connector FH40 series is a high-performance ZIF vertical contact surface-mount FPC Connector designed for reliable electrical connections in compact electronic assemblies. It features 50 female contacts spaced at a fine pitch of 0.5 mm enabling dense wiring configurations while maintaining signal integrity. The connector body uses a liquid crystal polymer housing to resist operating temperatures from -40°C to 105°C and harsh industrial environments.

The Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) design includes a unique flip-lock rotating actuator that allows easy insertion and joining of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) with a thickness of up to 0.3 mm. The strong actuator construction ensures retention under demanding mechanical stress, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and electronic manufacturing applications. This straight orientation connector comes with a locking mechanism and is rated for 50V AC voltage and 500 mA current.

Contact materials consist of phosphor bronze with gold plating to provide corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. This product is halogen free as per IEC61249-2-21 standards, making it compliant with modern environmental requirements. The connector’s compact 5.8 mm above-board height and single row configuration support versatile design requirements in electronics, instrumentation, and automation systems.

Features 50 female contacts for secure signal transfer. 0.5 mm pitch ensures compact and precise connector spacing. ZIF vertical contact termination minimizes insertion force. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts and gold plating for durability.

Housing made from liquid crystal polymer offers high heat resistance. Operates reliably between -40°C and 105°C temperature range. Supports a voltage rating of 50V AC and current of 500mA. Single row with straight orientation and locking mechanism included.

Compatible with 0.3 mm thick flexible printed circuit boards. Halogen free and manufactured in Japan adhering to industrial standards.

This Hirose FH40 connector series is ideal for use in industrial automation, electronic equipment manufacturing, measurement instruments, and other demanding environments requiring a reliable, low insertion force FPC connection.
