Hirose FH19 and FH19SC Series 0.5 mm FPC/FFC Connectors FH19 and FH19SC series 0.5 mm ZIF (zero insertion force) FPC/FFC connectors with a low profile, lightweight design. These FH19 and FH19SC FPC/FFC connectors have a low profile height of just 0.9 mm and a narrow width of 3 mm offering a reduced footprint and PCB space saving. A flip-lock rotating actuator allows easy insertion and secure retention of the FPC. The actuator has a temporary hold mechanism which keeps it open during the insertion of the FPC. When the actuator is fully closed, it produces a tactile click to confirm it is firmly locked in place. The metal fittings on the sides of the connector help to secure the connector to the PCB and also act as guides when the FPC/FFC is inserted. The leadless design of these fittings means that they take up less space on the PCB. The bottom of these FPC/FFC connectors is solid and the contacts are not exposed allowing the connector to be mounted over conductive traces on the PCB.
