Two-point contact design for dust prevention
■Features
1. Automatic single action locking design
· Single action locking by simply inserting FPC after mounting
contributes to enhanced workability. (Fig.1)
(Lock release by operating the lock lever when removing.)
· Operation of the lock lever is not required at the time of
mating FPC. Can be inserted with one hand.
Contributes to reduced assembly time.
The lock lever will not be damaged by operation.
Mating failure is reduced by eliminating the need to operate
a lever while mating.
2. Two-points of contact prevents contact failure by dust
Fig.2
Supports FPC/FFC/Shield FFC
· High contact reliability by independent spring two-point
contact design, preventing contact failure by dust. (Fig.2)
3. Supports FPC/FFC/Shield FFC
· FH63 allows you to choose from FPC/FFC/Shield FFC.
· Shielded FFC is acceptable for EMI prevention. (Fig.3)
4. High FPC retention force
· The circuit is automatically locked after FPC/FFC is inserted
by a single action. The notches on both sides of FPC are
held by the lock lever, generating a high FPC retention
force in spite of the small contact. (Fig.4)

Shielded FFC is acceptable for EMI prevention.
5. Visual inspection on the mated status of FPC/FFC is possible.
GND contact
· As the notches on both sides of FPC can be checked from
the top surface after inserting FPC/FFC, insufficient
insertion during assembly is prevented. (Fig.5)

[Operation method]
Care needs to be taken when handling this connector. In order to prevent the damage and
contact failure etc. (incorrect mating, disconnection of FPC pattern) of connectors and FPC,
please use after confirming the following contents.
This connector supports FPC/FFC/Shield FFC, however, for convenience, the description is
made only for FPC.

This product is delivered with the lock lever closed. The lock lever does not need to be operated before
inserting FPC.
[Caution]
· Do not open the lock lever when FPC is not inserted.
Additionally, the lock lever does not need to be opened except to remove the FPC. (Example 1)
· Do not operate the connector until it is mounted on the board. (Example 1)

Insert FPC to the end correctly (Ex.2) horizontal to the board surface.
Mar.1.2018 Copyright 2018 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
[Caution]
· Please confirm that the lock lever is closed when you insert FPC.
Do not insert FPC while the lock lever is open. (Example 3)
· Do not FPC while at the same time pressing the lock lever. (Example 4)
· Insert FPC straight after positioning its tip end in a horizontal plane in reference to the guides on both ends
of the connector mating port.
· Insert in a manner that it won't be diagonal to the insertion direction. (Example 5)
· When inserting, do not move the FPC in a vertical, lateral or diagonal direction. (Example 6)

Mar.1.2018 Copyright 2018 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
[Caution]
· When releasing the lock, operate the lock lever around the center. (Example 11)
· When releasing the lock, do not operate only one side of the lock lever. (Example 12)
· As the lock lever cannot be opened to over 45°, do not open it over this angle. (Example 13)
· Do not pick and raise the lock lever off, or pull it. (Example 14)
· Be sure to operate the lock lever by hand, and do not operate it with sharp-edged tools such as tweezers
etc. (Example 15)
· Don't apply an excessive force to the housing during operation. (Example 16)
· The FPC insertion direction for this connector is different from the direction of the lock lever operation
section. Do not try to open FPC from its insertion side. (Example 17)

5. How to remove FPC
After releasing the lock lever, remove the FPC in the horizontal direction. (Example 18)
When removing the FPC, do not press the lock lever. (Example 19)
As the released lock lever automatically closes when removing the FPC, the lever does not need to be
operated after removal. (Example 20)

[Caution]
· Do not pull out FPC while the lever is locked. (Example 21)
· This connector is equipped with the FPC retention mechanism by means of the lock lever. When pulling
out FPC, do not apply load in the upward or lateral direction. (Example 22)

[Cautions for PCB layout]
Mar.1.2018 Copyright 2018 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Depending on the routing of FPC to mate, a load may be applied to the connector, which could lead to failure.
In order to prevent failure, please consider the following concerning the mechanism design.
[Caution]
· When routing the FPC, please be careful that FPC is not pulled and routing is carried out with a margin.
· Please check that the reinforcing film is placed horizontal to the board surface. (Example 23)
· Please insure there is no load applied to the connector in the pulling, inserting or lateral direction.
A bent FPC, it could cause contact failure or damage/disconnection of FPC. Therefore, please take some
measure to fix FPC etc. (Example 24)(Example 25)
· Don't place any parts under the FPC that will interfere with FPC. (Example 26)
· As for the flexibility of FPC, please make adjustments with the FPC manufacturer.
· Please ensure the FPC has adequate insertion space when designing the layout so that it is not inserted
diagonally.
Additionally, ensure the insertion space is not too short for FPC. Please adopt adequate parts layout and
length for FPC.
· When you design the board/layout, please secure a space required for operations.

[Notes for mounting on the board/after mounting on the board]
[Notes for mounting on the board]
Please be careful of the following at the time of board mounting.
Mar.1.2018 Copyright 2018 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
[Caution]
· Please confirm recommendations for mount board land shape, metal mask opening shape, and FPC
shape.
· If the land is narrower than recommend, or if the metal mask opening is wider than recommend, solder
(flux) wicking is more likely to occur.
If there is difference from the recommendation, please use check the mounted state.
· The level difference between the bottom surfaces of contact lead and the mold is designed to be small.
When there is silk print etc. on the bottom surface of the connector, it could push up the connector bottom
surface, and cause non-sticking solder or defective fillet formation.
When there is silk print etc. on the bottom surface of the connector, please use it after checking the
mounted state.
· Use the reflow conditions within the specifications of our company.
The mounted status may vary due to external conditions such as the type of cream solder, manufacturer,
and board size. Please use it after checking the mounted state.
· Please control the board warpage as much as possible. While the coplanarity of this connector is 0.1mm or
less, defective soldering could occur if the board warpage is considerable.
· 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.
· When pulling out the emboss from the reel, or when the connector is absorbed from the emboss and so on,
do not apply any excessive external force (of 1N or more) to the connector before mounting.

[Cautions when handling the board after mounting]
Please be careful of the following when handling the board after mounting operation.
[Caution]
· Do not apply any load to the board in the assembly process, such as "dividing a multi-piece board" or
"securing the board to the frame".
Such action could apply a load to the connector and damage it.
· Use the board with the deflection being 1mm or less when the board width is 100mm. (Example 27)
If the board has some deflection, it could apply a load to the connector and damage it.

[Cautions for hand-soldering]
Please be careful of the following when hand-soldering for repair work etc.
[Caution]
· Do not hand-solder while FPC is inserted.
· Please be careful not to apply excessive heat, or allow the solder iron to touch any place other than the
connector contact lead.
Such action could cause the connector to be deformed or melted.
· Do not supply an excessive amount of solder (flux).
If too much solder (flux) is supplied to the contact, the solder or flux could adhere on the contact point and
cause contact failure.
Additionally, if you supply too much solder to the reinforcing metal tabs the rotational action of the lock
lever could be defective and the connector could be damaged.
