Operation

Precautions

FPC conductor surface

(Bottom side)

1. FPC/FFC Termination procedure.

Connector installed on the board.

1) Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger.

3) Rotate down the actuator until firmly closed.

It is critical that the inserted FPC/FFC is not moved

and remains fully inserted. Should the FPC/FFC be

moved, open the actuator and repeat the process,

starting with Step 1 above.

2) The connector will assure reliable performance

when the actuator is open to 130° maximum.

Do not exceed this angle, as this may cause

permanent damage to the connector.

2. FPC/FFC Removal

1) Lift up the actuator.

2) Carefully remove the FPC/FFC.

2) Assure that the FPC/FFC is fully inserted parallel

to mounting surface, with the exposed conductive

traces facing down.

1) Do not apply excessive force or use any type of

tool to operate the actuator.

3) Application of excessive force to the inserted

FPC/FFC may cause damage to connector and

may affect the reliability of electrical connection.

If specific application

requires continuous or

repeated pull or bend of

the inserted FPC/FFC,

assure that the forces are

NOT transmitted directly

to the connector.
