Molex
30 Position FFC, FPC Connector Contacts, Bottom 0.020" (0.50mm) Surface Mount, Right Angle

Overview

The 0528923033 is a 30-position, 0.50mm pitch FFC/FPC connector featuring a right-angle orientation and a flip-lock actuator. This Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connector is designed for surface mount applications and provides a compact 2mm mating height for low-profile electronic assemblies.

Why Choose This Part

The flip-lock actuator provides secure cable retention and easy assembly without requiring specialized tools. Its ZIF design minimizes wear on the delicate FPC contacts during insertion, while the phosphor bronze contacts with tin-bismuth plating ensure reliable electrical performance across 20 mating cycles.

Applications

LCD Display Interconnects
Connecting small to medium-sized TFT and OLED screens to main controller boards.
Handheld Medical Devices
Used for internal signal routing between high-density PCBs and peripheral sensor modules.
Consumer Wearables
Integrating thin-film components where space is limited and reliable vibration resistance is required.
Industrial HMI Panels
Linking touch-panel overlays to processing units in compact automation interfaces.
