Operation
Precautions
1. FPC/FFC Termination procedure.
Connector installed on the board.
1) Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger.
1) Avoid grasping the actuator with two fingers or lift-
ing the actuator with fingernail.
2) Rotate down the actuator until firmly closed.
It is critical that the inserted FPC/FFC is not moved
and remains fully inserted. Should the FPC/FFC be
moved, open the actuator and repeat the process,
starting with Step 1 above.
2) Fully insert the FPC/FFC parallel to mounting sur-
face, with the exposed conductive traces facing
down.

2. FPC/FFC Removal
1) Lift up the actuator.
2) Carefully remove the FPC/FFC.
3) Due to the structure of the connectors, they do
not have strong resistance to upward pulling;
therefore, support the FPC/FFC when a pulling
force is applied to it.
