OMRON Releases Backlock Multipole FPC Connector with 0.3mm Pitch, 1.1mm Height, and 90 Pins- the Highest Pin Count of its Kind
KYOTO, Japan - (BUSINESS WIRE) - OMRON Corporation (TOKYO:6645)(ADR:OMRNY) today announced plans to
release the XF3E, a 1.1 mm-high
FPC (flexible printed circuit) connector with a pitch of 0.3 mm and 90
pins - the highest pin count of its kind - on July 30, 2010. FPC
connectors are used in a wide range of digital devices, including mobile
phones and smartphones, computers, optical disk drives, and LCD
projectors.
Development Background
Demand for multipole FPC connectors is growing due to the recent large
increases in the amount of data transmitted within digital devices. In
particular, the incorporation of an increasing variety of functions into
touch panel-equipped mobile devices will necessitate increases in signal
lines, and this is expected to result in a growing need for connectors
with high pin counts.
Demand is growing for high pin-count FPC connectors that have
low-profile configurations which help manufacturers cater to the trend
toward smaller and slimmer devices, and also for connectors that feature
highly impact-resistant backlock mechanisms that are better able to
withstand punishing daily use in mobile devices. OMRON's new XF3E FPC
connector was developed to meet all of these varied needs simultaneously.
Features
The XF3E FPC connector manages to accommodate 90 pins despite its
diminutive dimensions, with a pitch of 0.3 mm, a height of 1.1 mm, and a
depth of 4.3mm (when the slider is locked).
-
A lower-profile, smaller footprint design has been achieved while
still incorporating a durable backlock mechanism.
-
The double-sided (upper and lower) contact point structure accepts any
FPC insertion direction allowing increased freedom in device design.
-
The connector is made from environmentally-friendly halogen-free
materials.
