FH28-60S-0.5SH(48)

0.5mm and 1mm Pitch, 2.55mm Height FPC/FFC Connectors FH28 Series Robust locking structure Nov.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved. Reinforced fitting provide support and prevent the actuator from disengaging from the connector. Each terminal is attached to the actuator, so the actuator is supported along its entire length. Fig.1 ■Features 1. Highly reliable connection and robust structure The FPC positioning mechanism and FPC tabs help to guide and hold the FPC prior to engaging the actuator Multi-polarized connectors, reinforced body structure and high FPC retention produced by the following features: Reliable connection created by its unique FPC/FFC positioning mechanism Prevents accidental disengagement with the design of its proprietary structure 2. Simplified operations The flip lock structure makes it easier to engage/disengage the actuator and reduces the required force needed to operate. A clear tactile click is delivered upon the successful completion of the mating process. (Fig.1) 3. Increased FPC/FFC retention force Vertical retention force for the FPC/FFC is 2.5 times stronger than our 0.5mm pitch connector the FH12 series. Horizontal retention force for the FPC/FFC is 2 times stronger than our 0.5mm pitch connector the FH12 series *To realize the horizontal retention force values, the use of the FPC positioning tabs are required. FPC without the positioning tabs will comply with the specifications rated on the FH12 series. Fig.2 Can also be used with straight sided, non-tabbed FPC/FFC 4. Accepts standard 0.3mm thick FPC/FFC It accepts 0.3mm thick products that are easy to manufacture and have superb insertion performance. 5. Fully molded structure aids PCB layout The bottom of this connector is enclosed by a fully molded structure that protects the contacts and removes any restrictions from PCB patterning and design. 6. Supports automatic pick-n-place mounting Offered in tape and reel packaging that is compatible with automatic machine mounting. (2,000pcs/reel) 7. Halogen-free All materials and substances used to produce this product comply with Halogen-free standards.*Defined according to IEC61249-2-21. Br : 900ppm maximum, Cl : 900ppm maximum, Br+Cl : 1,500ppm maximum Fig.3 8. Multiple packing options The standard packaging is 2,000pcs/reel, but it is also offered in a 500pcs/reel. (The outer diameter of the reel will be Ø330mm in this case.) 2019.9④ 1 FH28 Series●0.5mm and 1mm Pitch, 2.55mm Height FPC/FFC Connectors ■Product Specifications Adaptive FPC/FFC contact specifications Storage Temperature Range -10 to +50ç (Note 3) Storage Humidity Range Relative humidity 90% or less (no condensation should be present) t= 0.3 ±0.05 Gold plating Item Nov.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD.

FPC/FFC insertion method 1 Rotate the actuator upward to unlock it The actuator can be easily operated with the use of a thumb nail or index finger. Precautions for use 1 The actuator on the FH28 series connector is designed to open to a maximum of 116 degrees, trying to open it farther than that will lead to damage. Nov.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved. 116˚ 2 Insert the FPC/FFC into the insertion slot as show below. Improper insertion can lead to damage and ultimately malfunction. 2 Insert the FPC/FFC with the contact sur- face facing down. FH28 is a bottom contact type connector. Insert FPC/FFC from the diagonally left side of the connector. Insert the FPC/FFC at a diagonal angle and lay it into position. Insert it until the FPC/FFC is securely hooked on the positioning area. Check to see if it is retained by pulling lightly on it. For detail, refer to the next page. Positioning part 3 Do not pull on the FPC/FFC in an upward direction, doing this can damage the connector as it is not equipped to handle a large amount of force in this direction. 3 Rotate the actuator downward. 4 When dealing with a higher contact count (80 posi- tions), be sure to use two fingers to close the actuator on both sides. Using one finger might not close it completely and leave an incomplete connection. 2. Removing the FPC/FFC 1 Rotate the actuator upward, then angle the FPC/FFC upward after the actuator has been released and remove the FPC/FFC straight out. 5 When inserting FPC/FFC, do not rub it hard on the lower sur- face of the insertion slot of the connector. Otherwise, the contact hits hard on the FPC/FFC, and may cause the deformation of the contact or conductor separation etc. of the FPC/FFC. During the insertion of the FPC/FFC, make sure that 11 FH28 Series●0.5mm and 1mm Pitch, 2.55mm Height FPC/FFC Connectors BCautions when mating FFFC/FPC with positioning tabs Operation Methods Precautions for use 1. Position for insertion 2 PC/FFC must not over lap Insert the cable into the gap ( ) between the side walls ( ) on both sides of the cable insertion port' and the 'guide walls ( ) on both sides of the inner part of the connector' putting the tab of the cable on the gap. Do not close the actuator until the FPC/FFC has been placed into its correct position. If it is sitting on the guides and the actuator closes onto it, it can cause damage and alter its performance. Nov.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved. Incorrectly placed onto the left guide Incorrectly placed onto the right guide 2. Cautions during insertion/mating 1 Do not insert the FPC/FFC at an skewed angle (as shown), this type of action may cause the corner of the cable to get hooked and deform its contacts. Normal insertion Skwed insertion Do not close the actuator with the cable sitting on either guide. Insert the cable straight into the connector opening and hook the cable tab onto the guide. Pull the cable towards yourself with a slight force after insertion, and close the actuator after confirming that the cable tab is completely secured. If it cannot be pulled to out, the cable can be determined to be inserted into the correct position. Recommended mating method In case you accidentally close the lock with the cable sitting on the guides, do not move the cable around to make it seat. Open the actuator immediately and reposition the cable as explained in “1. Position for insertion” noted above. 1 Insert the cable straight from the diagonally left side. 2 Pull the cable lightly to yourself and check if the tab is secured. Pulling direction 3 Close the actuator. 12 The characteristics and the specifications contained herein are for reference purpose. Please refer to the latest customer drawings prior to use.
