■Features
1. Space-saving design
Fig.1
One Action Lock
［Before mating］
· Space saving design with 0.3mm pitch, 3.5mm depth,
0.9mm height (Fig.1).
2. Automatic one action lock design
One action locking by simply inserting FPC after
mounting contributes to enhanced workability (Fig.2).
(Lock release by operating the lock lever when
removing.)
· Operation of the actuator is not required at the time of
FPC mating.
· Can be inserted with one hand.
· Contributes to assembly time reduction.
· Lock lever will not be damaged by operation.
· Eliminates failures due to FPC movement during
locking.
3. High FPC retention force
· The notches on both sides of FPC are held by the lock
lever, generating a high FPC retention force in spite of
the small size (Fig.3).
［After mating］
Insert only

4. Easy FPC insertion
· Wide guide for easy FPC insertion (Fig.1).
5. Compatible with 0.2mm thickness FPC
· 3mm pitch connector compatible with 0.2mm standard
thickness FPC (Appropriate rigidness of metal plates
prevents FPC deformation and issues during inserting
and fitting).
6. Detect FPC Mis-Mating with Original
Structure
Disengagement
prevention
Fig.3
FPC mis-mating detection
· Can detect mis-mating by checking the FPC insertion
status with FPC pattern (Fig.4).
7. Environmental
· Halogen free

FH72 Series●0.3mm Pitch, 0.9mm Height, Top Contact One Action Lock, High FPC Retention Force Connector
Connector operation and points to note
[Operation Method]
As this connector is a small-sized, thin product, care needs to be taken when handling.
Please check the following before use.
1. Initial Condition
①The product is delivered with the lock lever closed. The lock lever does not need to be operated other than
when removing the FPC.
2. FPC insertion method
①Insert FPC with the conductor surface facing upwards, horizontally to the board surface until fully inserted.
Apr.1.2024 Copyright 2024 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
[Caution]
· During FPC insertion do not twist the FPC vertically, laterally or diagonally. Doing so may result in
deformation of the contacts and contact failure.

4. FPC extraction method
①Push up the lock lever slowly and release the lock.
[Caution]
・The lock lever cannot be opened over 180°. Do not open it over this angle.
・After releasing the lock lever, do not touch the contact.
・Do not raise, pull, or twist the lock lever.

Load is concentrated
on the rotational axis

Excessive force is applied to the lock lever.
②After releasing the lock lever, extract the FPC in the horizontal direction.
③After remove of the FPC, close the lock lever.
[Caution]
・Do not pull out FPC while the lock lever is not opened to 45° or more.
・Ensure both ends of the lock lever are closed.

5. FPC routing
①When routing the FPC please do not apply a load as it may cause FPC disconnection and
damage.
It also may cause additional load to the connector resulting in poor connection and other issues.
[Caution]
・Make sure the FPC's stiffener does not touch the chassis.
・When designing and assembling the FPC avoid applying stress by pulling, pushing and loosening
on the connector. Additionally, avoid pulling up and down on the FPC

・When designing and assembling the FBC after cabling avoid pulling the FPC and route the wire
with slack. In this case the stiffener should be parallel to the PCB.
・Do not mount other components under the FPC's stiffener.

[Cautions for mounting PCB]
◆PCB Warping
Minimize PCB warping as much as possible.
Lead co-planarity including reinforced metals is 0.1mm or less.
Too much PCB warping may result in a soldering failure.
◆FPC Mounting
When mounted on FPC, be sure to provide a reinforcing plate to ease handling.
We recommend a reinforcing plate of 0.3mm or thicker made of glass epoxy material.
◆Load to Connector
Do not apply an external for to the connector greater than 1.0N prior to mounting.
Additionally do not insert the FPC or operate the connector before mounting.
◆Load to PCB
• Splitting a large PCB into several pieces
• Screwing the PCB
Avoid the handling described above so that no force is
exerted on the PCB during the assembly process.
Otherwise, the connector may become defective.

◆Instructions on manual soldering
Follow the instructions shown below when soldering the connector manually during repair etc.
1. Do not perform any reflow or hand soldering operation while FPC is inserted in the connector.
2. Do not apply extreme heat, or allow the soldering iron to touch anything other than the connector
lead.
This could cause the connector to be deformed or melted.
3. Do not supply excessive solder (flux).
If excessive solder (flux) is applied to the contact, the solder or flux could adhere on the contact
point andcause contact failure.
