Overview
The FH12-16S-0.5SH(55) is a 16-position, 0.5mm pitch FPC/FFC connector designed for high-density surface mount applications. It features a bottom-contact configuration and a flip-lock ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) mechanism that provides secure cable retention with a low 2.0mm profile above the PCB.
Why Choose This Part
The flip-lock actuator ensures reliable electrical contact and mechanical retention without the risk of accidental cable disconnection. Its 0.5mm pitch allows for a high density of 16 contacts in a footprint roughly 12.1mm wide, making it ideal for miniaturized designs.
Applications
Small Display Interconnects
Connecting 16-pin TFT or OLED glass panels to a main controller board in handheld devices.
Mobile Electronics
Routing signals between sub-assemblies in compact consumer electronics like digital cameras or tablets.
Industrial UI Panels
Interfacing membrane keypads or touch overlays with 16-conductor flexible circuits.
