TE Connectivity Trio-Mate 2.54 mm Pitch 8 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector Solder 5-487508-7

TE Connectivity 5-487508-7 Trio-Mate 2.54 mm Pitch 8 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector is a high-quality flexible film connector designed for robust electrical connections in various industrial applications.

This connector is intended for use with Flat Flexible Cable (FFC), flexible etched circuitry (FPC), or membrane switch circuitry with thicknesses ranging from 0.13 to 0.38 mm in the contact area. Its reliable phosphor bronze contacts ensure stable conductivity, enhanced by tin plating over copper to resist corrosion.

The right-angle orientation and 2.54 mm pitch provide versatile mounting options on printed circuit boards using through-hole solder termination, suitable for compact and efficient PCB layouts. With a current rating of 1 amp and voltage rating of 250 volts AC, this connector meets moderate power and signal requirements.

The housing is manufactured from black polyethylene terephthalate with an UL 94V-0 flammability rating, ensuring flame resistance and mechanical durability. The connector is rated to operate in temperatures from -55°C up to 105°C, accommodating harsh industrial environments.

This Trio-Mate connector series supports repeated cable insertions, reportedly up to 25 cycles without degradation in performance, making it ideal for maintenance-intensive or reusable applications. Its low insertion force (LIF) mechanism reduces wear on both the connector and cable, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly.

Typical applications include use in industrial control, computing, communication devices, instrumentation, and other electronic manufacturing where reliable PCB interconnects are essential.

The connector includes 8 female contacts for flexible cable connections. Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts plated with tin over copper for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. 2.54 mm pitch dimension supports standard FPC/FFC cable types.

Right-angle design facilitates space-saving PCB mounting options. Operating voltage capability of 250 V AC and current of 1 A. Polyethylene terephthalate housing rated UL 94V-0 for flame resistance. Temperature operating range from -55°C to 105°C to suit diverse environments.

Low Insertion Force design for easy mating and unmating cycles. Reusable up to 25 times with consistent performance on same cable thickness.
