Working Principle

The 487544-1 is designed with a snap latch and Low mating force (LF) for secure mating and improved design flexibility. The snap latch ensures that the connector and cables remain firmly connected while in operation. In addition, the snap latch also allows the housing to be easily mated and un-mated which makes the removal and attachment of components more convenient.

The LF feature of the 487544-1 connector helps to improve design flexibility by allowing the connector to be easily positioned, adjusted and re-positioned with micro-movements. The improved design flexibility allows for easy housing customization in terms of the placement and orientation of the connector, giving manufacturers more options when designing their products.

The 487544-1 is designed with a curved profile that reduces its overall size and footprint. This feature helps manufacturers to save components, space and cost when designing their products.

Conclusion

The 487544-1 is a versatile, secure, and cost-effective FPC Connector designed with a snap latch and Low mating force for secure mating and improved design flexibility. Its curved profile design helps to reduce size and improve design flexibility, while its broad range of applications make it ideal for use in consumer, medical, and industrial electronics.
