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.

This FPC (flexible printed circuit) connector from Molex makes wire-to-board connections on printed circuit boards easier and faster. It's a 17-way adapter made with a liquid-crystal polymer housing material that provides both durability and flexibility. Double-bottom contact terminals remove dust and contaminants for superior electrical reliability. This compact device is designed to fit into small enclosures, and its low-profile construction means it won't get in the way of the components in your circuit.

• Cable ear-tab locking feature for cable alignment and high retention force
• Surface mounting style for easy and time-saving installation
• Phosphor-bronze contact material for a reliable connection
• ZIF (zero insertion force) bottom contact for easy cable insertion
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for use in demanding conditions

• Printers and copiers
• Display audio
• Flat-screen televisions

The main difference between flexible printed circuit cables and flexible flat cables is that FPCs are more compact, durable and pliable. This makes them a popular choice in tough industrial applications.
