Easy-On 1.0 mm FFC/FPC connectors with double-bottom contacts and a compact, low profile design with a mating height of just 1.90 mm. The contact design of these Easy-On 1.0 mm FFC/FPC connectors features 2 lower contacts per circuit. This double bottom contact terminal design removes dust and contaminants resulting in a clean mating interface and high contact reliability. This design also provides double the contacts per circuit. The actuators of these Easy-On 1.0 mm FFC/FPC connectors are pre-assembled covers that secure the connection between the FFC/FPC and the connector terminals. The housings of these FFC/FPC connectors feature a cable ear-tab locking feature with indents in them in which accept the FPC tabs. This feature provides proper cable seating and alignment, high retention force and easy actuation. These Easy-On 1.0 mm FFC/FPC connectors also have Zero insertion force for easy cable insertion and for allowing repeat cycling with minimum wear. The top of the housings also feature a vacuum pick and place area for easy board assembly and cost savings. Robust solder tabs on these SMT FFC/FPC connectors offer secure PCB retention and strain relief for solder joints. These Easy-On 1.0 mm FFC/FPC connectors are available in a wide range of circuit sizes for design flexibility.

Use this FPC (flexible printed circuit) connector from Molex to easily link your components to PCBs (printed circuit boards). This connector has contacts made of phosphor-bronze material – known for its high conductivity – to ensure a reliable connection. The contacts have gold-over-nickel plating for improved corrosion resistance, giving you long-term performance without wear or rust. A double-bottom contact terminal design removes dust and contaminants, providing stable contact forces for enhanced electrical reliability. Connectors like this one are commonly used in electronics manufacturing.

• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for reliable performance in harsh environments
• Low current rating of 500mA for energy efficiency
• Liquid-crystal polymer housing material for durability and flexibility
• ZIF (zero insertion force) bottom contact for easy cable insertion and repeat cycling with minimum wear
• Solder tabs for secure PCB retention

• Optical disc drives
• Portable gaming consoles
• Car navigation

An FPC connector can only be reused if it's desoldered carefully so as not to damage the contact pins.
