Connector minimizes carbon-ink scraping and paste damage

April 17, 2025 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Hirose has launched a compact carbon-ink-circuit (CIC) connector that features a unique contact design to prevent carbon-ink scraping and paste damage. Designed for harsh environment applications including automotive systems, the highly reliable FH52C Series CIC connector utilizes a 110 degree robust flip-lock actuator for a quick, easy and secure assembly.
With a 1.0mm pitch, 2.0mm mating height, and 0.3 mm CIC compatibility, the miniature FH52C Series simplifies space-constrained designs.
High-strength, L-shaped retention tabs provide a PCB retention strength of 90N, approximately 1.8 times higher than traditional I-shaped methods. In addition, the L-shaped retention tabs stick out from the edge of the housing, allowing for visual inspection of the soldering from above.
The FH52C Series CIC connector is commonly used in automotive applications like HUDs, IVIs, and HMI systems.
The FH52C Series supports automated pick-and-place mounting for streamlined production.
