0.5mm and 1mm Pitch Connectors For FPC/FFC
FH12 Series
Flip-lock
sFeatures
1. Ease of Use and Space Savings
Only one finger or 6.9N (Newtons) of force is required to
lock Hirose’s rotational actuator (flip-lock) as compared
to using 2 fingers and 39.2N to close a FFC/FPC
connector from our competition.
The Flip-Lock design also allows customers to place 2
or more connectors side by side as there is no need to
waste additional board space for a side latch.

2. Strengthened Lock Lever
The standard Flip-Lock requires only 2.0mm height
above the board. A strengthened lock lever is available
which only requires an additional 0.4mm.
w
3. Supports Thin FPC (0.18mm)
Hirose does not require double-sided FPC to have any
additional strengthening plate or stiffener and can therefore
support a thickness of as little as 0.18mm +/- 0.05.
4. Hirose Ensures Reliability
Hirose’s patented half tuning fork contacts maintain the
required normal force without relying on the connector
housing. With our competitor’s conventional products
the housing walls support the contact force, which does
not provide for long-term reliability.
e
5. Prevention of Solder Bridge
Excess solder cavity absorbs excessive solder and
avoids solder bridging.
6. Three different assembly types
FH12 is offered in Top & Bottom Contact and Vertical
Mount and offered in both a 0.5mm contact pitch as well
as a 1.0mm contact pitch (bottom contact only).
sApplications
Notebook computers, printers, PDAs, digital cameras and
other compact devices for interconnecting the main circuit
board with the LCD, HDD or other device.

Operating Instructions & Precautions

Contact Type (common for 0.5mm/1mm)
Operating Instruction
Precautions for Use
1. FPC/FFC Insertion
1
Lift up the lock lever.
(The lock is released.)
The lock lever can be simply operated by flicking it
up with the fingernail of the thumb or forefinger.
1
Avoid grasping the lock lever with your fingers or
hooking the lever (especially with your fingernail).
The part is small and thin and could be damaged.
2
Insert the FPC with the conductive surface fac-
ing down.
Insert the FPC so that it is perpendicular with
respect to the connector.
2
Please ensure that the FPC is properly inserted
into the connector insertion slot. Failing to insert
the FPC properly could cause FPC breakage and
conduction faults.
3
Press down the lock lever
When the FPC is partially inserted or there is an
extreme insertion offset, the lock level will engage
poorly or not at all. Should this happen, remove the
FPC with the removal method of 2-(1) and perform
the operation of 1-(1) again.
3
Due to the structure of the connectors, they do not
have strong resistance to upward pulling; there-
fore, support the FPC when a pulling force is
applied to it.
2. FPC/FFC Removal
1
Lift up the lock lever and pull out the FPC after the
lock is released.

Lift up the lock lever.

The lock lever can be simply operated by flicking it

1
Avoid forcing the lock lever upward when the FPC
is not inserted. The part is small and thin and could
be damaged.
2
Insert the FPC with the conductive surface fac-
ing up. Fully insert the FPC into the insertion
slot of the connector.

2
Avoid operation with only one side of the lock
lever at the time of locking. The use of only one
side will cause a locking fault.
3
Firmly press down the lock lever on both sides.
The design is such that pressing only on one side
will not engage the lock, but incomplete pressing
will result in locking failure.
3
Avoid forced pulling of the FPC. Forced pulling will
cause the FPC to become disconnected or dam-
aged.
2. FPC/FFC Removal
1
Lift up the lock lever and pull out the FPC after the
lock is released.
