Overview

The 68714014522 is a 40-position FPC connector from Wurth Elektronik's WR-FPC series, featuring a 0.5mm pitch and a right-angle SMT orientation. This connector utilizes a bottom contact configuration and a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) mechanism to provide secure, high-density board-to-cable interconnects in low-profile electronic designs.

Why Choose This Part

The LCP housing ensures a UL94 V-0 flammability rating and stability during SMT reflow soldering processes. With a 0.5A current rating and a low profile right-angle design, it offers a reliable balance of power handling and space-saving for modern high-density PCB layouts.

Applications

LCD and OLED Displays
Connecting high-resolution small-form-factor displays to main controller boards in handheld devices.
Point-of-Sale Terminals
Managing signal routing between the main processor and peripheral modules like thermal printers or keypad interfaces.
Medical Imaging Modules
Providing space-efficient data links between sensor arrays and processing hardware in portable diagnostic equipment.
