HRS FH29 Series User manual

The reinforcing metal fittings support the actuator from
below, this leads to an easier locking function.
●With metal fitting type
1
0.2 mm Pitch, 1.2 mm Height, FPC Connector
FH29 Series
■Features
1. Space saving 0.2 mm pitch FPC connector
Super thin, space saving design with 1.2 mm connector
height and 4.55 mm mounting depth.
*40% reduction in PCB footprint
*50% reduction in weight
(Compared to our 0.3 mm pitch FH23 Series 80 position connector.)
2. With metal fitting type is also available
The addition of reinforcing metal fittings improve the
operability during actuator operation.
3. Easy solderability on the PCB
The leads are double sided and have 0.4 mm mounting lead pitch to simplify mounting.
4. Easy FPC insertion
The FPC aligning mechanism holds onto the FPC prior to locking the
actuator. This also helps to increase the retention force of this connector.
5. Accepts standard 0.2 mm thick FPC
This connector accepts standard 0.2 mm thick FPC.
(A stiffener with adequate strength will prevent FPC
deformation and ease insertion and mating.)
6. Rotating one-touch ZIF mechanism
The one-touch rotating ZIF mechanism is easier to operate and
works with a light force, and a clear tactile click is delivered
upon the successful completion of the mating process
7. Molded structure aids PCB layout
The bottom of this connector is enclosed by a fully molded structure that protects
the contacts and removes any restrictions from PCB patterning and layout design.
8. Suitable for automatic pick-n-place mounting
Offered in tape and reel packaging that is compatible with
automatic machine mounting. (5,000 pieces per reel)
9. Halogen-free
Halogen free connectors are available; please use the FH29BW, FH29BJ and FH29DJ type
connectors. All materials and substances used to produce the FH29BW, FH29BJ, FH29DJ
series product complies with Halogen-free standards. * Defined according to IEC61249-2-21
Br: 900ppm max, Cl: 900ppm max, Br+Cl: 1,500ppm max.
10 . Suitable for automatic pick-n-place mounting
The standard packaging is 5,000 pieces per reel, but it is
also offered in a 500 piece reel. (The outer diameter of the
reel will be _180 mm in this case.)

Operation
FH29 Series●0.2 mm Pitch, 1.2 mm Height, FPC Connector
■Connector Operation and Precautions
1. FPC insertion
Rotate the actuator upward to unlock it
(Release the lock.)
The actuator can be easily operated with the use
of a thumb nail or index finger.
1
2. FPC removal
Rotate the actuator upward, and then pull the
FPC out by using the alignment tabs as a guide.
The FPC should be removed at a 10 degree
angle to the PCB surface.
1
Insert the FPC into the connector with the
conductive traces facing down.
There is an FPC alignment tab that requires FPC
to be inserted at an angle of about 10 degrees
with respect to PCB surface and perpendicular to
the connector. The FPC should be inserted firmly
all the way to the back.
2
Rotate the actuator downward.
If the FPC has not been fully inserted or is
extremely skewed, disengage the FPC and follow
the directions described in 2- “FPC Removal”
and then repeat the operations from 1- . Always
make sure that the FPC is secured prior to locking
the actuator.

Usage Precautions
FH29 Series●0.2 mm Pitch, 1.2 mm Height, FPC Connector
This connector needs to be handled with care due to its thin design and miniature stature.
[ Precautions when mounting PCB ]
◆Acceptable amount of PCB distortion
The PCB distortion should be kept to a minimum. The maximum coplanarity of this connector is 0.1 mm, but
excessive distortion can create solder failure.
* Various factors can contribute to distortion and we recommend an extensive check beforehand.
◆Stress to the connector
Do not apply any excessive force or mate/unmate these connectors until they are mounted, failure to follow this
precaution can lead to deformation or damage to these connectors. Inserting the FPC prior to mounting is not
recommended either.
◆Applied force to the PCB
Do not place any excessive force on the PCB after the connector has been mounted, this type

[ Precautions when inserting or coupling FPC
Be careful on the following points when inserting or coupling FPC.
◆Actuator operation
Do not apply an excessive amount of force when rotating the actuator or insert your finger nail too far into the
structure, this can damage the contacts as shown below.

Deformation of contact tip
Deformation of upper arm
part of contact
As depicted below, the actuator was designed to
rotate on a rotational axis. The actuator should
be operated with this axis in mind.

Usage Precautions
FH29 Series●0.2 mm Pitch, 1.2 mm Height, FPC Connector
The actuator is designed to open to a maximum
of 135 degrees, trying to open it farther than that
will lead to damage or disengagement. The force
applied should be less than 1 N. (Refer to the
drawing below.)
4
Do not apply a force of 0.5N or more that can press the actuator axis downward, or the actuator may be
disengaged or damaged.
3
To close and lock the actuator after the FPC has
been inserted; apply force on the center of the
actuator to engage the lock. Applying pressure
to the edges of the actuator might damage or
deform the actuator.
5
135゜
Do not pinch, lift or hook the actuator (as shown
below), these actions can damage the connector.
(Do not perform any operations other than the
rotating operation described in Step above.)

◆Contact orientation
This is a bottom-contact connector and the FPC should be inserted with the conductive traces facing downward
toward the PCB.
◆FPC insertion
There are FPC alignment tabs that require the FPC to be inserted at a 10 degree angle in respect to the PCB
surface but still be perpendicular to the connector. The FPC should be completely inserted into the
connector.
An incorrect FPC insertion can damage the contacts and cause the circuit to malfunction.

使用上の注意点
Usage Precautions
Do not insert the FPC at an high angle
As illustrated in the drawing below, if the FPC has been inserted
at an high angle, the FPC will bend which can break or damage
the conductive traces, or the FPC might not be fully inserted into
the connector.
◆Lock check security
When locking, check that the actuator is level with the PCB surface (see drawing below). When the actuator is positioned
close to 0ç, be careful to not apply an excessive load as doing so may deform the contacts. (Load should be less than 1 N.)
*To avoid this problem, we recommend that consideration be given to insure the
proper spacing needed to secure the FPC on the board. The length of the FPC
should be considered as well because insertion becomes difficult with FPC that is
too short.
* Please contact the FPC/FFC manufacturer for the characteristics of their FPC/FFC.

[ Precautions when routing FPC after coupling ]
◆FPC load
Be cautious of the force applied to the FPC after the actuator has
been locked. If there is a large amount of force placed onto the FPC
it may release the lock on the connector or damage the FPC. If this
load is to be continuous, we recommend that the FPC be secured.
When routing the FPC, make sure that these is not a sharp bend in
the FPC especially near the insertion slot.

[ Other precautions ]
◆Hand soldering precautions
When performing hand soldering such as for repair, take care of the following points.
Do not reflow or hand soldering with the FPC inserted into the connector.
Do not apply excessive heat or allow the soldering iron to make contact with anything other than the
connector leads. Failure to follow this precaution can lead to a melted or deformed connector.
Do not apply excessive solder or flux
The use of excessive solder (flux) on the contacts may cause the solder or flux to adhere to the contacts or
on the rotational part of the actuator which will result in a poor connection or a potential rotational failure of
the actuator.

Precautions for FPC removal
◆To release the actuator, rotate it by applying pressure to the center of the actuator.
In case of closing lock while FPC is inserted, operating on the actuator end may cause damages to the actuator.
◆FPC removal should occur only after the actuator has been unlocked
The alignment guides require the FPC to be removed at an angle of about 10Åã in respect to the PCB surface.
If you pull the FPC straight out, or with no angle at all or applying a 5N force, this can damage the FPC
alignment cutout.
