The FMZ series, a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connector series, was developed to increase wear resistance and extend the connector's mating life. It is a very compact connector with a thickness of only 4.2mm (.165") and a pitch of only 1.0mm (.039") and is thus useful for high-density packaging. The contact has a reliable double-leaf construction which provides stable connection. Zero insertion force mechanism A ZIF mechanism increases wear resistance and extends the connector's mating life. By moving the slide into it's locking position after an FFC is inserted into the connector with a low insertion force, the FFC leads are securely locked in place. Temporary retention feature After the FFC is inserted, but before the locking slide is actuated, a retention feature prevents the FFC leads from moving or coming out. This allows one handed operation and higher work efficiency. Compact This connector is very small with a mounting height of only 6.5m (.256") and a thickness of 4.2mm (.165") when locked. Double-leaf contact The slide mechanism and FFC are held and locked between the contact beams. This eliminates stress to the housing, provides high contact pressure and reliable connection.
