Molex announces 221378 FlatLock series Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors
Space savings and design flexibility are essential considerations for connectors and cables in small devices. The Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors, FlatLock series (0.50mm pitch) offer a low profile and compact design with innovative features that deliver an efficient and reliable performance, including dual contact connection, pre-locking capability and a high mating cycle rating.
Features
- Includes backflip actuator with dual contact connection and pre-lock feature
- Located on the anti-slip side, the actuator with its wide depth can connect top and bottom surfaces to offer dual-contact capability. The pre-lock feature helps prevent FFC/FPC cable from accidentally slipping out during assembly.
