67516-509

Flat Flexible (FFC/FPC) connectors are a type of small electrical connectors specifically designed for flexible flat cables (FFCs). The connector is used to provide a secure connection between the two parts, while allowing them to move freely when necessary. The FFC/FPC connector consists of a mating parts, the housing, and the contacts. The housing provides the physical structure for the FFC/FPC connectors, while the contacts enable the connection of the two parts. The solution 67516-509 is a FFC/FPC connector that is designed to accommodate FFCs with a pitch of 0.50mm. With its robust design, the 67516-509 was developed for use in consumer electronics, appliances and vehicles.

Application Field

The 67516-509 FFC/FPC connector is most commonly used in consumer electronic, appliances and automotive applications. The 67516-509 is particularly suitable for applications where miniaturization of components and space-saving is required. The 67516-509 utilizes its low profile design and space saving features, making it an ideal choice for applications such as computer keyboards, mobile phones, GPS navigators, digital cameras, games consoles, entertainment systems and other consumer electronic products. It can also be used in automotive applications such as dashboards, climate control systems, and audio systems.

Working Principles

The 67516-509 is a FFC/FPC connector that utilizes a 0.50mm pitch and works on the principle of spring contact technology. The contacts are made of gold-plated phosphor bronze and provided with a short travel, open barrel profile for reliable contact engagement. The housing is made of high-temperature plastic. The male part of the connector features a polarization feature that ensures correct mating with the female part by making sure that the two parts fit together in a certain way. To assemble the 67516-509, the FFC/FPC ribbon cable is inserted into the housing and the contacts positioned accurately. This ensures a secure contact engagement and a reliable electric connection.

To ensure a good contact engagement, the FFC/FPC ribbon is secured in the housing using tensioners. The tensioners ensure that the contacts are pressed into the ribbon, guaranteeing a high contact force and a reliable connection. The FFC/FPC can further be secured with mounting clips, which are used to secure the FFC/FPC in place and assure a tight fit.

Conclusion

The 67516-509 is a FFC/FPC connector that is designed for use in consumer electronics, appliances and automotive applications. It uses 0.5mm pitch and works on the principle of spring contact technology. It is designed to provide secure contact engagement and reliable electric connection, ensuring a long service life. The connector is also designed to be compact in size and space-saving, making it a great choice for applications such as computer keyboards, mobile phones, and digital cameras.
