Wurth Elektronik FPC Connector 0.5 mm Pitch 18 Way Horizontal Male Surface Mount 687118182122

Wurth Elektronik 687118182122 FPC Connector is a surface mount 18 way horizontal male connector with a fine 0.5 mm pitch designed for printed circuit board applications. It features phosphor bronze contacts offering excellent electrical conductivity and durability under operating conditions up to 85°C and as low as -55°C. The connector supports a voltage of 250 V AC and current of 500 mA, making it suitable for low power electronic devices.

This connector integrates a zero insertion force (ZIF) mechanism to reduce wear during mating and demating, combined with a locking mechanism to ensure secure and stable connections in demanding industrial and manufacturing environments.

The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer, a material known for its thermal resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring stable performance in temperature extremes. Contacts are plated with tin over nickel to protect against corrosion, extending the component's lifecycle.

The single-row dual-position contact configuration optimizes board space without sacrificing connection reliability. The surface mount termination type facilitates automated assembly processes and compact PCB designs common in modern electronics equipment.

This product is widely used in industrial electronics, automation, telecommunications, and consumer electronics requiring durable and precise flexible printed circuit (FPC) connections. It is compatible with solder profiles following Wurth Elektronik technical soldering specifications and is not designed for washing; special care during cleaning is recommended to avoid damage.
