Wurth Elektronik WR-FPC 0.5 mm Pitch 16-Way Horizontal Male FPC Connector, ZIF Bottom Contact 687116149022

Wurth Elektronik presents the WR-FPC 0.5 mm Pitch 16-Way Horizontal Male FPC Connector, model number 687116149022. This connector is specifically designed for applications requiring high-density and secure flexible cable connections in electronic assemblies, displays, keyboards, and other miniaturized devices.

Featuring a fine 0.5 mm pitch, the 16-way connector allows for space saving on PCBs while supporting direct cable insertion due to its ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) bottom contact mechanism. The flip-lock actuator ensures that once the cable is inserted, it remains firmly locked and electrically connected, reducing stress during soldering and assembly processes.

The connector is constructed using polyamide housing material for longevity and robust performance, with phosphor bronze contacts plated in tin over nickel for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its horizontal orientation and surface mount design make integration straightforward and efficient for automated or manual PCB manufacturing.

Operating up to 500 mA and 50 V AC, the WR-FPC series connector suits demanding electronic environments and offers reliability across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 105°C. A single row configuration makes routing and layout easy, and the locking mechanism enhances connectivity stability.

Engineered for compact electronics, mobile devices, and industrial control panels. Ideal for flexible display interfaces, membrane switches, and keyboard cable terminations. Supports high-density wiring needs in consumer, medical, and laboratory devices.

Efficient surface mounting improves throughput in production lines. Polyamide and phosphor bronze ensure mechanical and electrical robustness.

This Wurth Elektronik connector meets practical requirements for modern PCB and FPC cable assembly, offering secure connections and versatile applications across industrial, laboratory, and commercial electronics.
