FH43B Series●0.2 mm Pitch, 0.9 mm above the board, Flexible Printed Circuit ZIF Connectors
Precautions
Exercise care when handling connectors. Follow recommendations given below.
[ Precautions when mounting connectors on the PCB ]
◆Handling before mounting on PCB
Insertion of the FPC or operation of the actuator prior to mounting on the PCB is NOT RECOMMENDED.
◆PC board warpage
Minimize the warpage as much as possible. The connector is straight within 0.1 mm max. Make sure that the
mounting area flatness can accept the connector terminals without causing any failure of the solder joints.
◆When braking the large PC board into individual boards exercise care NOT to damage the installed connectors.
◆When attaching the boards or other components with the screws make sure that any stresses will NOT cause
board deflections affecting the mounting areas of the connector.
◆Bending of the board
For a board width of 100 mm, bending of the board must be 0.5 mm max. (Ref to Fig. 1)

[ Precautions during FPC insertion and mating ]
Pay attention to the following points when inserting FPC.
◆Actuator operation
1 Do not apply excessive force when opening the actuator prior to FPC insertion. When opening make sure that
the force is applied only to the actuator itself, avoiding touching of the contacts.
