Working Principle

The 487941-2 FFC/FPC connector features a ruggedness that makes it especially suitable for applications in harsh environments. Its design includes pick-and-placeability, high contact areas, and a low-profile design that eliminates flexing of the contact pins, all of which make it suitable for a variety of applications. The interconnection is determined by position contact, which makes it highly resistant to the effects of vibrations and shock.

The 487941-2 connector is designed with a four-position contact and a single contact pad that will help ensure a secure install. The pins are securely retained in the connector providing a reliable and robust connection that can withstand harsh environments. Each pin is capable of withstanding 15,000 mating cycles and is tested in accordance with the requirements of the VDE 0701-2-1 safety standards.

In addition, the 487941-2 connector includes a surface-mount feature. This mounting method eliminates the need for through-hole mounting and enables the product to be mounted on any surface without losing strength or reliability. The surface-mount terminals are all pressure fitted and spring loaded for easy installation, and they are designed to provide a secure connection over the entire range of operating temperatures.

The 487941-2 FFC/FPC connector system provides a reliable interconnect solution performance in challenging environments. This connector system is ideal for high-current applications where a cost-effective, reliable interconnection solution is needed.
