FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98)

Flat Flexible Connectors, or FFC and FPC, are rapidly growing in popularity as a preferred means of interconnection for a wide variety of electronic components. FFC and FPC offer an extremely reliable form of electrical contact with some additional advantages to both manufacturers and consumers alike. The FFC/FPC Connector family consists of a wide range of sizes and shapes, ranging from pitch sizes of 0.35mm to 50.00mm. The specific FFC/FPC part number represented in the heading is FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98), which is a right angle connector in a 2.00mm pitch size. The FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98) is available in either stranded or solid conductor stock, and is RoHS/REACH compliant.

Application Field

The FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98) is well suited for use in a variety of application fields. With its 0.5mm terminal pitch, this FFC/FPC is ideal for high-density applications requiring maximum space savings while maximizing mechanical strength. Among the most commonly seen applications are notebook and mobile phones, computers motherboards, smart card terminals, automotive navigation system components, and digital camera eye pieces. FFC/FPC connectors are particularly suited to these applications given their low profile and extremely small pitch size.

Working Principle

An important component of FFC/FPC is the protective film on each edge of the connectors. This film provides the degree of contact resistance and impedance control required for quality electrical connections. When this film mates with the contact it forms an insulated seal that allows for a secure, reliable connection. This ensures electrical integrity regardless of the operating environment. The FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98) includes a slew of features for added convenience, including contact retention, cable management, and custom designed mounting brackets to make integration into a variety of computer and electronic applications easier.

The FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98) connector also includes a unique strain relief system which eliminates the risk of damaged cables, ensures secure mating, and increases the overall reliability of the connection. The FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98) is rated up to 10,000 mating cycles, but can handle up to 20,000 under certain circumstances. This ensures a long lifespan for the connector, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable electrical contacts over an extended period of time.

The FH12-49S-0.5SV(1)(98) is an invaluable asset in today’s ever-growing world of digital electronics. By offering various features such as secure mechanical connections, high contact densities, and low profile design, the FFC/FPC allows manufacturers to create more precise and reliable connections for their products that are easier to manufacture, assemble and install. As the demand for smaller, more efficient electronic components increases, the FFC/FPC is becoming an increasingly popular choice.
