Wurth Elektronik WR-FPC 1 mm Pitch 8 Way Horizontal Female FPC Connector Surface Mount 686108183422

Wurth Elektronik 686108183422 is a 1 mm pitch 8 way horizontal female FPC connector designed for surface mount technology applications. This WR-FPC series connector features a low profile of just 1.2 mm height, optimized for miniaturized and high density electronic assemblies.

The connector uses a rotating flip lock actuator mechanism to allow zero insertion force (ZIF) insertion of flexible printed circuits (FPC), which results in reduced wear and improved reliability. The actuator fully opens to enable easy FPC placement and then locks back to secure the connection effectively. This design provides excellent retention force for both electrical and mechanical integrity.

Contacts are manufactured from phosphor bronze, plated with tin over nickel to ensure stable electrical performance and corrosion resistance. With an 800mA current rating and 50V AC voltage rating, this connector is suitable for low power signal connections. The housing is constructed from liquid crystal polymer, offering durability and mechanical strength in demanding environments.

The WR-FPC Connector includes brass solder tabs on each side to enhance mechanical stability once mounted on the PCB. Its horizontal orientation and single row of 8 contacts provide a flexible and compact interconnection solution for applications including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medical devices, and display technology.

Low profile design ideal for compact and space-constrained applications. Flip lock actuator provides high retention force and easy FPC insertion. Phosphor bronze contact material with tin over nickel plating for reliable conductivity.
