AVX targets automotive, industrial and commercial markets with ZIF vertical secure lock FFC/FPC connector series
AVX Corporation has introduced two new families of zero insertion force, vertical mount, secure locking FFC/FPC connectors targeting automotive, industrial and commercial markets. Specifically designed to meet the high volume, harsh environment needs of the automotive market, Series 6801 connectors feature a one-stage action which - for the first time - facilitates automated assembly.
Retention force is high at 70N
and optional shortened contacts allow for automated electrical testing. Because
the new styles accomodate the same FFC/FPC cable shape as previous generation
products, upgrade is simple and designs can be flexible using right angled and
vertical versions.
The 0.5mm pitch devices can handle a FPC/FFC thickness of 0.30mm +/- 0.05mm
and are rated at 0.5A/pin, 50Vrms. Operating temperature range is the automotive
standard from -40 to +105degC, higher than standard connectors of this type. To
further aid automation, Series 6801 connectors have a sufficiently-large flat
surface to accommodate pick & place nozzle heads and clear, contrasting
colouring for camera-recognition (black on slider /white on housing).
Targeting more commercially-sensitive, yet high performance applications,
Series 6251 zero insertion force, secure locking FFC/FPC connectors are also
configured for vertical mount, and again accommodate the same FFC/FPC cable
shape as previous devices providing great design flexibility. Featuring a flip
lid which is moulded to simplify opening and closing by hand and to provide
tactile feedback on closing, the connectors are available in
10/30/40/45/50/60/64 way versions and offered with gold plating as standard for
maximum protection against tin whiskering.
Comments Andy Kotas, Marketing Manager, Connectors, AVX/Kyocera Electronic
Devices: “The interconnect system is one of the most vulnerable yet vital
parts of automotive and any other electronic system, so spending the time to
select the best performing and most suitable connector for modern production
processes is essential.”
