For board-to-FPC
Connectors for
inspection usage
(0.4mm pitch)
A4F
Series
APPLICATIONS
Ideal for module unit inspection and
equipment assembly inspection
FEATURES
1. 3,000 mating and unmating cycles
2. Same external dimensions and foot
pattern as standard type.
3. Improved mating
Insertion and removal easy due to a
reduction in mating retention force. This
is made possible by a simple locking
structure design.
Note: Mating retention force cannot be
warranted.

Connectors are mounted with high pitch
density, intervals of 0.35 mm, 0.4 mm or
0.5 mm.
In order to reduce solder and flux rise,
solder bridges and other issues make
sure the proper levels of solder is used.
The figures to the right are recommended
