FH23-45S-0.3SHW(05) (HIROSE(HRS))

The FH23 series flexible Printed Circuit Connector designed for placement with automatic equipment. The Hirose Electric's unique low insertion force (LIF) design (patents pending) improves the Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) holding force after insertion. There is no need to hold the FPC after insertion in the connector. The connector will hold it in correct position, allowing closing of the actuator. The surface-mounted termination of the contacts is staggered on 0.6mm centres, positioned on front and back of the connector. Bottom of the connector is completely insulated, allowing conductive traces on PCB to run under the connector. The rotating actuator permits easy insertion and reliable connection with the FPC. Tactile sensation confirms complete mechanical locking of the actuator and the electrical connection. It accepts 0.2mm thick FPC.
