FH12-11S-1SH Datasheet PDF - Hirose Electric

●■Features

●1\. Ease of Use and Space Savings

●Only one finger or 6.9N (Newtons) of force is required to lock Hirose’s rotational actuator (flip-lock) as compared to using 2 fingers and 39.2N to close a FFC/FPC connector from our competition. The Flip-Lock design also allows customers to place 2 or more connectors side by side as there is no need to waste additional board space for a side latch.

●2\. Strengthened Flip-lock Actuator

●The standard Flip-Lock requires only 2.0mm height above the board. A strengthened lock lever is available which only requires an additional 0.4mm.

●3\. Supports Thin FPC (0.18mm)

●Hirose does not require double-sided FPC to have any additional strengthening plate or stiffener and can

●therefore support a thickness of as little as 0.18mm +/- 0.05.

●4\. Hirose Ensures Reliability

●Hirose’s patented half tuning fork contacts maintain the required normal force without relying on the connector housing. With our competitor’s conventional products the housing walls support the contact force,

●which does not provide for long-term reliability.

●5\. Prevention of Solder Bridge

●Excess solder cavity absorbs excessive solder and avoids solder bridging.

●6\. Three different assembly types

●FH12 is offered in Top & Bottom Contact and Vertical Mount and offered in both a 0.5mm contact pitch as well as a 1.0mm contact pitch (bottom contact only).
