Molex 1 mm Pitch 16 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector, Solder 52271-1669

Molex 52271-1669 is a 1.00 mm pitch, 16 way right angle female FPC connector with solder termination designed for use in surface mount technology (SMT) applications. It belongs to the 52271 series of Easy-On Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connectors that provide reliable and robust electrical connections suitable for many industries including automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunications, medical devices, and mobile phones.

The connector features a slide type actuator that rotates 30° allowing secure and easy insertion of flexible printed circuits (FPC). The contacts are located on the bottom and plated with gold over nickel to ensure excellent conductivity and resistance to wear. Nylon housing offers insulation and strength, while solder tabs reinforce PCB retention and provide strain relief for solder joints.

This connector operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 85°C, with a maximum rated current of 500mA and voltage up to 50 volts AC. The design supports one row of 16 contacts arranged in a space-saving right angle orientation, suitable for compact electronic assemblies. The ZIF insertion force ensures minimum wear during repeated cycles and secure retention of flexible cables.

Space-saving design ideal for high-density electronic devices. Slide type actuator facilitates easy insertion and secure locking of FPC. Gold plated phosphor bronze contacts enhance durability and conductivity. Nylon housing material provides high insulation and ruggedness.

Solder tabs offer excellent mechanical strain relief on the PCB. Wide operating temperature range suitable for diverse environmental conditions. Single row, right angle orientation supports compact PCB layouts. Reliable electrical retention with movable contacts compensating for cable movement.

This connector finds application in automotive audio and navigation systems, digital cameras, home security equipment, tablets, notebooks, GPS devices, smartphones, medical patient monitoring, and other demanding industrial and consumer electronics where a compact, reliable FPC connection is critical.
