Hirose 0.5 mm Pitch 40 Way Horizontal Female FPC Connector Surface Mount FH50-40S-0.5SH

Hirose FH50-40S-0.5SH 0.5 mm Pitch 40 Way Horizontal Female FPC Connector Surface Mount is engineered for precision and reliability in electronic assemblies requiring flexible printed circuits. The connector features 40 female contacts spaced with a 0.5 mm pitch ensuring compact layout compatibility. Its horizontal contact position and bottom termination type allow easy integration on PCB surfaces with automated Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes.

This connector is constructed from phosphor bronze contacts plated with gold to ensure excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The housing is made from liquid crystal polymer, providing robust mechanical support and resistance to environmental stresses. It operates efficiently within a broad temperature range from -55°C to 85°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial electronics applications.

The ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) design along with an integrated locking mechanism prevents connector damage by minimizing insertion force and securing the connection firmly. The connector supports currents up to 500mA and voltages up to 50V AC, suitable for typical signal and power transmission in FPC/FFC assembly.

The connector supports FPC/FFC thicknesses of 0.3±0.05 mm and includes features to avoid incomplete mating with a unique cam function and dual beam contact for secure retention. This ensures clear tactile feedback and temporary holding during assembly.

Applications for this connector include electronic equipment manufacturing, PCB assemblies in consumer electronics, communications devices, instrumentation, and other industrial electronics requiring compact, reliable FPC connections.
