■ Overview

Continuous miniaturization and increased component density on PCB created demand for extremely low profile connectors. This series is addition of a new extremely low profile connectors to Hiroses wide range of high reliability board-to-board/board-to-FPC connection solutions.

■ Features

1. Contact reliability
Concentration of the contacts normal forces at the single point assures good contact wipe and electrical reliability, while confirming the fully mated condition with a definite tactile click.
2. Self alignment
Recognizing the difficulties of mating extremely small connectors in limited spaces the connectors will self align in horizontal axis within 0.3 mm.
3. Automatic board placement
Packaged on tape-and-reel the plug and headers have sufficiently large flat areas to allow pick-up with vacuum nozzles of automatic placement equipment.
4. Variety of contact positions and styles
Available in standard contact positions of: 20, 22, 24, 30, 34, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 with and without metal fittings.
Addition of metal fittings does not affect external dimensionsof the connectors.
Smaller contact positions are also available.
5. Support for continuity test connector
Connectors which have increased insertion and removal durability are available for continuity tests. Contact your Hirose sales representative for details.

■ Applications

Cellular phones, PDAs, mobile computers, digital cameras, digital video cameras, and other devices demanding high reliability connections in extremely limited spaces.
