487545-1 Connectors, Interconnects

The 487545-1 FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings is an FPC connector used to connect a flexible printed circuit (FPC) to other components mounted on an electronic board. It is mounted directly onto a printed circuit board and provides electrical connection between different layers of a printed circuit board assembly. This type of connector is best suited for applications requiring very high density as well as flexibility.

The housing of this type of connector is a molded plastic shell with two mating halves. It is designed to accommodate the FPC components such as contacts, electrical insulation, and strain relief. The terminals of the FPC are built into the housing and held in place by a press-fit or a tail latch. The 487545-1 housing has four pin connection points and can accommodate four (4) FPCs, each connected to the housing with two (2) of the contacts. It has a pitch of 0.8mm which is suitable for applications requiring higher densities where space is limited.

The working principle of the 487545-1 connector involves mating the two housings by aligning them at the appropriate pitch. The mating process can either be done manually or automatically by using an automated mounter. Once the housings are mated together, the FPC is inserted into the housing to form the electrical connection. To ensure proper connection, it is important to use a press-fit or tail latch to secure the FPC in the correct position.

The FPC can then be connected to the other components of the printed circuit board assembly, such as the chips, resistors, or capacitors. This type of connector can also be used for making connections between two separate FPCs. One of the main advantages of this type of connector is that it is relatively easy to install and can be used for many different applications. Another benefit of using the 487545-1 connector is that it provides excellent electrical and mechanical performance. Moreover, due to its small size and low profile, it can be used in applications where space is limited.

The 487545-1 FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications where space and density are limited. Its robust design ensures a reliable connection between FPCs and other components of a printed circuit board assembly. It is highly reliable, easy to install, and offers excellent electrical and mechanical performance. With its small size and low profile, it can be used in applications where space is limited and still provide excellent connections.
