Hirose 0.5 mm Pitch 24 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector, Bottom Contact FH52-24S-0.5SH

Hirose FH52-24S-0.5SH 24 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector is engineered for reliable and robust surface-mount technology (SMT) applications requiring a compact 0.5 mm pitch and 24 contact positions. It features a slim mated height of 2 mm and a zero insertion force (ZIF) rotating flip lock actuator designed for easy, damage-free installation of flexible printed circuits (FPCs).

The connector’s phosphor bronze contacts are gold plated, providing enhanced electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The housing, crafted from high-quality liquid crystal polymer (LCP), ensures durability under harsh environmental conditions and aligns with halogen-free standards (IEC 61249-2-21).

Metal fittings inside the housing enhance retention strength, stabilizing the actuator and increasing the connector's mechanical reliability. The design includes side catches to guide and retain tabbed FPCs securely until locked by the flip actuator, which produces a tactile click to confirm proper engagement.

This connector operates safely under a voltage rating of 50V AC and sustains currents of up to 500mA, suitable for low-power electronic assemblies. It performs reliably within an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, accommodating various industrial and commercial applications.

Applications for the Hirose FH52-24S-0.5SH include use in audio and video recorders, car navigation systems, notebook PCs, portable medical devices, optical drives, industrial control units, satellite receivers, LCD and digital TVs, and printers, highlighting its versatility and durability in diverse electronics sectors.

Low profile 2 mm mated height reduces overall assembly thickness. Flip lock actuator enables easy FPC insertion and firm locking. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts enhance electrical performance. ZIF design protects FPC from damage during connection.

Durable liquid crystal polymer housing meets halogen-free requirements. Stable and robust locking with metal fittings inside housing. Effective in harsh temperature environments from -40°C to 105°C. Supports reliable operation at 50V AC and 500mA current.
