Wurth Elektronik WR-FPC 0.5 mm Pitch, 26 Way Horizontal Female FPC Connector, Solder Type, Surface Mount, 50V 687126149022

The Wurth Elektronik WR-FPC 687126149022 is a high-density horizontal female FPC connector designed for modern miniaturized electronic applications. With a fine 0.5 mm pitch, 26 contact configuration, and surface mount assembly, this connector supports secure and efficient wire-to-board connections, particularly in devices with limited PCB space.

This unit features a hinged flip-lock actuator utilizing Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) technology, allowing FFC or FPC cables to be easily inserted and securely retained. Solder termination ensures robust mechanical and electrical bonding to the PCB during production. The surface mount configuration facilitates automated assembly processes, enhancing production efficiency in high-volume electronics manufacturing.

The contacts are manufactured from phosphor bronze with tin over nickel plating, maximizing conductivity and corrosion resistance. The polyamide housing delivers strength and lightweight construction, further supporting the connector’s suitability for portable and space-constrained devices. Rated to handle 500 mA and 50 V AC, the connector aligns with requirements for low-power signal transmission in compact circuit boards.

The WR-FPC series connector is engineered for wide temperature tolerance, operating from -40°C to 105°C, making it reliable for both industrial and commercial electronics. Its single-row, bottom-contact design suits applications in small display interfaces, keyboards, wearable electronics, and high-density printed circuit board assemblies.

Typical use cases include medical devices, smartphones, laptops, tablets, display electronics, keypads, and other devices needing slim, modular wire-to-board connections. The flip-lock hinge mechanism allows tools-free engagement and disengagement, streamlining maintenance and repairs.

Industry professionals in electronics manufacturing, product design, and industrial automation benefit from the WR-FPC’s certified structural reliability and compatibility with advanced PCB processes. The connector’s flexible, direct cable insertion eliminates the need for mating connectors, supporting both prototyping and mass production.

26 contacts provide high-density signal and power transmission for compact boards. 0.5 mm pitch delivers space efficiency suitable for miniature devices and modules. Surface mount, horizontal female configuration simplifies PCB layout and routing.

Phosphor bronze contact material, tin over nickel plating, and polyamide housing ensure durability and reliability. ZIF flip-lock actuator enables safe cable retention and easy assembly without special tools. Solder termination optimizes manufacturing process integration.

Operating temperature range supports diverse electronics environments from industrial to consumer devices. Designed for frequent use in product development, prototyping, and electronics manufacturing for tight layouts.
