Heilind now stocking single-action lock connectors from Hirose

Heilind Electronics, an authorized distributor for Hirose, is now stocking the manufacturer’s FH62 Series FPC connectors.

These robust connectors feature an easy-to-use single-action lock that secures through a simple insertion of the FPC after mounting — ultimately reducing assembly time. Because this design eliminates the requirement to close a locking lever while mating, it prevents FPC movement during insertion and damage to the lever during operation.

Another benefit of the FH62 Series is its compact footprint. The connectors feature a 0.25 mm pitch and 4.0 mm width, conserving space on printed circuit boards. Despite their smaller size, FH62 Series connectors generate a high FPC retention force. In addition, they accommodate FPCs as thick as 0.3 mm.

FH62 Series connectors support high-speed transmissions conforming to eDP, MIPI and USB 3.0 standards. In addition, they are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.

Due to their intuitive design and excellent impedance properties, the new FPC connectors are ideal for use in applications like medical electronics, banking, office systems, and consumer electronics.
