FH26 Series
0.3mm Pitch, 1.0mm Height FPC Connector
May 2017 ③
FH26 Series/0.3mm Pitch, 1.0mm Height FPC Connector
Features
1.0mm
1. Low- profile 0. 3mm pitch FPC
connector
Aug.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Ultra- thin design, 1. 0mm height, 3. 2mm width for
space- saving design.
・ 30% reduction in PCB footprint
・ 40% reduction in weight
( Compared to our 0. 3mm pitch FH23 Series 51
position connector. )
3.2mm
[51pos.]
16.8mm
Solder tabs do no protrude
outside of the connector body
Achieve a height of 1. 0mm and mated depth of 3. 2mm.
2. Easy PCB Mounting
The leads are double sided and have a 0. 6mm
mounting lead pitch to simplify mounting.
3. No pattern prohibited area
on bottom of connector
( Overmolding design)
The bottom of this connector is fully molded to
eliminate contact exposure and remove any
restrictions to PCB patterning and design.
No exposed contacts on the bottom
of the connector
4. Superior Operability with Flip
Lock
The flip lock ( one- touch rotating ZIF mechanism)
is easier to operate and works with a light force.
A clear tactile click confirms the completion of
the mating process.

5. Easy FPC insertion
The metal FPC insertion guides helps to make the
FPC insertion process easier. The housing also
has a damage- resistant design.

6. Compatible with standard
0. 2mm FPC Thickness
This connector accepts standard 0. 2mm thick
FPC. ( The proper FPC stiffener thickness
prevents FPC deformation and eases insertion
and mating. )
7. Pick & Place Mounting
Offered in tape and reel packaging that is
compatible with automatic machine mounting.
( 5, 000 pieces per reel)
8. Halogen- free
All materials and substances used to produce this
product comply with Halogen- free standards.
* Defined according to IEC61249- 2- 21
Br : 900ppm Max. , Cl : 900ppm Max. , Br+ Cl : 1, 500ppm Max.
9. Multiple packing options
The standard packaging is 5, 000 pieces per reel,
but it is also offered in a 500 piece reel. ( The
outer diameter of the reel will be φ180mm in this
case. )

Operation and Precautions
[ Operation]
Aug.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
1. FPC insertion procedure.
① Lift the actuator upward to unlock. ( Lock release) The actuator flips open easily when operated with a finger.
② Fully insert the FPC in the connector parallel to mounting surface, with the exposed
conductive traces facing down.
FPC conductor
surface (Bottom side)
③ Rotate the actuator downward until firmly closed. If the FPC is not fully inserted or is extremely
misaligned remove the FPC as described in 2- ② . Reoperate starting from 1- ① .
Make sure to secure the connector during locking.
2. FPC Removal
① Lift up the actuator. Remove the FPC after releasing the lock.

[ Precautions]
[ Precautions When Mounting to PCB ]
● Acceptable amount of PCB warpage
PCB warpage should be kept to a minimum. The maximum coplanarity of this connector is 0. 1mm, but excessive
warpage may result in solder failure.
● FPC Specifications
Stiffeners can be used to improve the rigidity of the FPC. We recommend using a glass epoxy with a thickness of 0. 3mm
or more.
● Load to the Connector
Do not apply any excessive force ( 0. 5N Max. ) or mate/ unmate the connectors until they are mounted, failure to
follow this precaution can lead to deformation or damage to the connectors. Inserting the FPC prior to mounting is not
recommended either.
[ Precautions for Handling the PCB After Mounting ]
● Applied force to the PCB
Do not place any excessive force on the PCB after connector mounting as this may damage the connectors. ( e. g. ,
When separating the PCB into multiple boards or installing fastening screws onto the PCB)
● PCB Bending
PCBs with a width of 100mm should not be bent more than 0. 5mm Max. ( Please refer to the
diagrams below. ) PCB bending places an extra load onto the connector and may lead to damage or malfunction.

PCB
[ Precautions When Inserting or Coupling FPC ]
Pay attention to the following points when inserting FPC.
● Actuator Operation
① Do not apply excessive force when opening the actuator prior to FPC insertion.
When opening make sure that the force is applied only to the actuator itself. Avoid touching the contacts.

② Rotational Axis

③ The actuator is designed to rotate up to 135°so do not apply excessive force to rotate it further.
Applying excessive force may result in the lock lever coming off or damage to the connector.
135°
④ When operating the actuator, do so at the center portion.
⑤ As illustrated, do not attempt removal or repositioning of the actuator.
( Do not do any operation other than the axis rotation described in ② . )

● FPC Insertion①
Aug.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Perpendicular with
the connector
The FPC should be aligned parallel with the board surface and perpendicular with the connector
( as shown) , then completely inserted.
To assure correct electrical and mechanical connection do not insert the FPC
at an angle. Inserting the FPC at an angle may result in a short circuit due to
pitch misalignment, or the corners of the FPC may get caught and deform the contacts.
Since this is a ZIF connector with 0. 35mm effective mating length ( HRS recommended
FPC nominal size) , do not pull out the FPC after insertion when operating the actuator.
● FPC Insertion②
Do not insert the FPC at any angle from above.
As illustrated, angled insertion may result in FPC bending, pattern breakage or incomplete
mating resulting in conduction failure.
Note 1 : To avoid inserting the FPC at an angle, secure sufficient FPC insertion space at the time of board layout. Insertion will be
difficult when the FPC is too short.
Note 2 : Contact the FPC manufacturer for information about the bending specifications.
● Confirming Locking Status
When locked the actuator should be level with respect to the board surface as illustrated below.
Do not press against the actuator when is fully closed. Max force applied to the fully closed actuator
should not exceed 1N.

[ Precautions for Routing the FPC after FPC Insertion]
● FPC Load
Do not apply force in excess of 0. 05N/ pin Max. in the upward direction ( as illustrated) .
Excessive force may result in the connector unlocking or FPC damage. Secure the FPC
when a continous load will be applied.
Do not bend the FPC too close to the actuator.
Aug.1.2022 Copyright 2022 HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Load : 0.05N/pin Max.
[ FPC Removal]
Rotate the actuator to the open position ( maximum open angle of 135) . Carefully withdraw the FPC.
135°
[ Other Precautions] ]
● Hand Soldering Precautions
When hand soldering:
① Do not perform reflow or hand soldering with the FPC inserted in the connector.
② Do not apply excessive heat or touch the soldering iron anywhere other than the connector leads.
③ Do not use excessive amount of solder or flux compounds.
Operation of the actuator and contacts may be affected by excessive amounts of solder or flux
compounds. Applying too much solder on the retention tabs may hinder the rotation of the actuator
and result in connector damage.
While taking in consideration
