Molex 0.5 mm Pitch 26 Way Straight Female ZIF Vertical Contact FPC Connector 52559-2652

Molex 52559-2652 is a 0.5 mm pitch, 26 way straight female FPC connector featuring Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) vertical contacts, designed for compact and reliable PCB interconnections. This Easy On 52559 series connector offers a space-saving design suitable for tight packaging applications across multiple industries.

The connector incorporates a slide type actuator that facilitates easy insertion and ensures a secure connection between the flexible printed circuit (FPC) and connector terminals. Its contacts are made of phosphor bronze plated with gold, offering excellent electrical performance and durability. The contact position is vertical, and the connector supports a locking mechanism to maintain stable connectivity.

This FPC connector is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) with solder tabs that provide secure PCB retention and strain relief for solder tail joints. It is rated for 500mA current and can safely operate at voltages up to 50V AC. The connector housing is made from nylon material, providing resilience in various environmental conditions.

The operating temperature range of -20°C to 85°C enables this connector to function reliably in automotive navigation and audio systems, digital cameras, home security devices, tablets, notebooks, patient monitors, GPS units, smartphones, and other mobile devices. The product requires minimum insertion force due to its ZIF design, ensuring cycle longevity and minimal contact wear.

Features a 0.5 mm pitch ideal for high-density interconnections. 26 contacts designed for female connectors with gold plating for conductivity. Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) vertical contact mechanism reduces wear during insertion cycles.

Slide type actuator ensures secure engagement and easy handling. Durable nylon housing provides mechanical and environmental protection. Surface mount design with solder tabs for PCB retention and strain relief. Electrical ratings: 500 mA current, 50V AC voltage rating.

Operating temperature range spans from -20°C to 85°C for robust use. Ideal for automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and communication equipment applications.
