Hirose 0.5 mm Pitch 15 Way Right Angle Female Bottom Contact Surface Mount FPC Connector FH52-15S-0.5SH

Hirose FH52-15S-0.5SH is a highly reliable 15 way FPC connector with a 0.5 mm pitch, designed with a right angle female bottom contact configuration and surface mount technology. It provides a robust and compact solution with a low profile mated height of 2 mm, ideal for high-density electronic assemblies.

This connector features an easy-on flip lock actuator that rotates to secure FPC/FFC cables firmly, ensuring a tactile click confirmation when properly locked. Metal fittings within the housing stabilize the actuator and enhance retention force, increasing operational durability. The contacts utilize a two-point connection that increases electrical reliability and lowers insertion force, while side catches keep the tabbed FPC stable prior to actuator engagement, ensuring consistent connector performance.

The fully molded housing allows PCB patterning as the bottom of the connector is solid and does not expose contacts, facilitating placement over conductive traces. This series supports standard 0.3 mm FPC and is halogen-free as per IEC 61249-2-21, aligning with environmental compliance requirements.

Designed for demanding environments, the connector operates reliably over a temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, making it suitable for use in industrial control units, automotive audio and navigation systems, notebook computers, portable medical devices, optical drives, satellite receivers, LCD and digital TVs, printers, and audio-video recording devices.

Its compact size, robust locking mechanism, and compliance with environmental standards make the FH52-15S-0.5SH a versatile and essential component in modern electronic applications requiring secure, reliable, and compact cable connections.

Low profile mated height of 2 mm ensures compact assembly. Easy-to-use rotating flip lock actuator allows simple insertion of FPC/FFC cables. Metal fittings inside housing increase actuator stability and retention. Two-point contact design enhances electrical reliability and connection stability.

Side catches guide and retain tabbed FPC until flip lock actuator engagement. Fully molded housing supports PCB patterning without exposed contacts underneath. Supports automatic pick-and-place mounting for efficient assembly.

Halogen-free construction complies with IEC 61249-2-21 standards. Operating temperature range from -40°C up to 105°C suits diverse industrial environments. Ideal for audio, video, automotive, medical, industrial control, and consumer electronics applications.
