Connector handling

Precautions for use

1. Insertion of FFC

qRotate the actuator upward to unlock it.

The actuator can be easily operated with the use of a

thumb nail or index finger.

wInsert the FFC into the connector with the conductive

traces facing down.

The FFC should be inserted at a slight oblique angle

relative to the mounting surface, for more directions

please refer to the next page.

eRotate the actuator down until it is firmly closed.

2. FFC removal

qRotate the actuator upwards to release the lock, then lift

up the FFC and remove it from the connector.

qThe FH41 series actuator was designed to open up to a

maximum angle of 110°, forcing the actuator past this

point will damage or detach it. Do not apply excessive

force when rotating the actuator.

wInsert the FFC correctly into the opening, failing to do

so can lead to disconnection or conduction failure.

eThe connector’s design is not resistant against upward

pulling forces. The FFC should be fixed so that the pull

force is not transmitted to the connector.

rBe careful not to scrape the FFC on the housing of the

connector during insertion, this action can lead to

damaged contacts, terminal deformation, FFC

conductor defects and other failures.
