FFC/FPC connectors ideal for industrial and automotive applications

Hirose has introduced the FH63 series range of flat flexible circuit/ flat printed circuit (FFC/FPC) connectors to allow automated insertion of a FFC/FPC, ideal for industrial and automotive applications. The connector series is 105C heat resistant and meets severe automotive requirements, and supports the signal transmission requirements of Embedded Display Port 1.3, HDMI 1.4a, USB 3.0, and V-by-One HS. A unique single action lock allows a FFC/FPC to be inserted into the connector without opening the lock lever. This can be done with one hand or by automated machinery to save valuable assembly time and reduce mating failure. The series can accept a FFC, FPC or shielded FFC for EMI prevention allowing flexible design options.
