NOTES
1. Recommended PC board and metal
mask patterns
Appropriate control of solder amount is
required to minimize solder bridges and
other defects for connectors with 0.3 mm,
0.4 mm or 0.5 mm pitch terminals, which
require high-density mounting. Refer to
the recommended PC board pattern.

2. Precautions for insertion/removal of
FPC
To open the lever, hold its center and turn
it up. A load applied to the lever unevenly
or on only one side may deform and
break the lever. Do not apply an
excessive load to the lever in the opening
direction; otherwise, the terminals may
be deformed. Don’t further apply an
excessive load to the fully opened lever;
otherwise, the lever may be deformed.
Fully open the lever to insert an FPC.
Since this product connects at the
bottom, please insert the FPC so that its
electrode plane is facing the board to
which it will be mounted. Do not insert the
FPC in the reverse direction of the
contact section; otherwise, operation
failures or malfunctions may be caused.
(140°)
Completely insert the FPC horizontally.
An FPC inserted at an excessive angle to
the board may cause the deformation of
metal parts, FPC insertion failures, and
FPC circuit breakages.

Insert the FPC to the full depth of the
connector without altering the angle.
When closing the lever, use the ball(s) of
your finger to push the entire lever or both
sides of it. Be careful. If pressure to the
lever is applied unevenly, such as to an
edge only, it may deform or break. Also,
make sure that the lever is closed
completely. Not doing so will cause a
faulty connection.
Avoid applying an excessive load to the
top of the lever during or after closing the
lever. Otherwise, the terminals may be
deformed.
Remove the FPC at parallel with the lever
fully opened. If the lever is closed, or if
the FPC is forcedly pulled, the molded
part may break.
After an FPC is inserted, carefully handle
it so as not to apply excessive stress to
the base of the FPC.
For other details, please verify with
the product specification sheets.

FPC CONNECTORS COMMON CAUTIONS FOR USE
COMMON CAUTIONS FOR USE
PC board design
Design the recommended foot pattern in
order to secure the mechanical strength
in the soldered areas of the terminal.
FPC and equipment design
Design the FPC based on the
recommended dimensions to ensure the
required connector performance.
In addition, carefully check the equipment
design and take required measures for
the equipment to prevent the FPC from
being removed subsequent to a fall,
vibration, or other impact due to the FPC
size, weight, or the reaction force of the
routed FPC.
Connector mounting
In case the connector is picked up by
chucking during mounting, an excessive
mounter chucking force may deform the
molded or metal part of the connector.
Consult us in advance if chucking is to be
applied.
Soldering
1) Manual soldering.
• Due to the low profile, if an excessive
amount of solder is applied to this
product during manual soldering, the
solder may creep up to near the contact
points, or interference by solder may
cause imperfect contact.
• Make sure that the soldering iron tip is
heated within the temperature and time
limits indicated in the specifications.
• Flux from the solder wire may adhere to
the contact surfaces during soldering
operations. After soldering, carefully
check the contact surfaces and clean off
any flux before use.
• Be aware that a load applied to the
connector terminals while soldering may
displace the contact.
• Thoroughly clean the iron tip.
2) Reflow soldering
• Screen-printing is recommended for
printing paste solder.
Y3FT/Y3F/Y3B
To determine the relationship between
the screen opening area and the PC
board foot pattern area, refer to the
diagrams in the recommended
patterns for PC boards and metal
masks when setting.
Note that excess solder on the
terminals prevents complete insertion
of the FPC, and that excess solder on
the metal clips prevents the lever from
rotating.
Y5S
Note that excess solder inhibits the
slider lock operation.
Terminal
Paste solder
PC board foot pattern
• Screen thickness of 120µm is
recommended for paste solder printing.
• Consult us when using a screen-printing
thickness other than that recommended.
• Depending on the size of the connector
being used, self alignment may not be
possible. Accordingly, carefully position
the terminal with the PC board pattern.
• The recommended reflow temperature
profile is given in the figure below

Time
• When performing reflow soldering on
the back of the PC board after reflow
soldering the connector, secure the
connector using, for example, an
adhesive. (Double reflow soldering on the
same side is possible)
3) Reworking on a soldered portion
• Finish reworking in one operation.
• For reworking of the solder bridge, use
a soldering iron with a flat tip. Do not add
flux, otherwise, the flux may creep to the
contact parts.
• Use a soldering iron whose tip
temperature is within the temperature
range specified in the specifications.
Do not drop the product or handle
carelessly. Otherwise, the terminals
may become deformed due to
excessive force or the solderability
during reflow soldering may degrade.
Don’t open/close the lever or insert/
remove an FPC until the connector is
soldered. Forcibly applied external
pressure on the terminals can weaken
the adherence of the terminals to the
molded part or cause the terminals to
lose their evenness. In addition, do
not insert an FPC into the connector
before soldering the connector.
When cutting or bending the PC
board after mounting the connector,
be careful that the soldered sections
are subjected to excessive forces.
Do not the soldered areas to be subjected to forces

Other Notes
When coating the PC board after
soldering the connector to prevent the
deterioration of insulation, perform the
coating in such a way so that the coating
does not get on the connector.
The connectors are not meant to be used
for switching.
For other details, please verify with
the product specification sheets.
Time
• The temperature is measured on the
surface of the PC board near the
connector terminal.
• Some solder and flux types may cause
serious solder creeping. Take the solder
and flux characteristics into consideration
when setting the reflow soldering
conditions.
