What to Look For in Molex FPC Connectors


If you’re in the market for a new connector, you’ve probably been wondering what
you should look for. Here are some things to consider when purchasing a
Molex FPC or FFC connector: 0.3-millimeter pitch, Compact design, Double bottom
contact, versatility, and more. We’ve also broken down the various features and
benefits of the FPC/FFC connector for your specific application.

0.3 mm pitch

The Molex FPC 0.3 m pitch series features a 37-way, single-row surface
mount device with a solder termination method. The housing consist of thermoplastic,
and the contacts consist of copper alloy. They have a 200-mA electrical rating. Molex
FPC can be helpful in electrical connections for computers, printers, and other
applications. They can also be essential for connecting cables and printed circuit
boards.

The Molex FPC 0.3 m pitch connector series is an excellent option for robotic and
automatic SMT processes. Its unique design features allow for secure mating in just
one step, reducing the possibility of human error. In addition, the connectors feature a
wide alignment guide and auto-lock mechanisms. The connectors also feature a wide
gap for ease of cable insertion and a larger area to hold the actuator.

Double bottom contact FPC connectors are available in various pitches. The 0.25mm
pitch design saves 40 percent of PCB space and is ideal for mobile equipment. A Zero
Insertion Force (ZIF) connector provides the smallest overall size. One of the benefits
of this connector is its reduced installation time. In addition, its SMT ZIF design
allows it to fit into tight spaces and save space while making connections.

Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors are easy to use and secure with minimal warpage. They
can be mated easily, making them ideal for fully automated and robotic SMT
processes. Featuring a wide alignment guide, Easy-On connectors reduce the risk of
mismating. The Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors can also be helpful in automated
assembly processes. Another great benefit is that they can be fully field-terminated.

Compact design

The FPC connector has a compact design. Its depth is 3.20mm. As a result, it can save
space on PCBs. It also offers the largest upward range of circuit sizes, 53. To learn
more about this connector, visit Heilind’s website. This product is available in various
circuit sizes and pitches and has the same tolerances as the standard 0.25mm pitch
Molex connectors.

The Molex FPC is a 17-way flexible printed circuit connector with a liquid-crystal
polymer housing. This provides excellent flexibility and durability. It also features
double-bottom contact terminals for electrical reliability. The low-profile design of
the Molex FPC connector allows for easy integration into small enclosures. In
addition, the connector is compact and won’t interfere with the circuit components. Its
double-bottom contact terminals also prevent dust from collecting on the terminals.

Molex has long led the industry with its innovative microminiature connectors. This
innovative technology provides high-density signals, space-saving design, and
durability. Whether you need a connector for high-speed data transmission, wireless
connectivity, or mobile communication, you can find the perfect Molex connector for
your application. Its product range includes cables in 0.35mm spacing and 42 AWG.
Its micro-products offer the highest quality content, uncompressed digital connection,
and superior signal integrity.

The Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors are the latest addition to Molex’s product line. The
connectors have double bottom contact cable earlobe locking mechanisms that ensure
a tight mating connection and minimize wear and tear on the connector. These
connectors are ideal for consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive
products. They are also compatible with standard Molex connectors. As a result, they
can be helpful in applications where space is at a premium.
