Guide for Getting FPC connector Y5B and Y5BW 01. Introduction Y5B and Y5BW connectors are low-profile, space saving and back-lock type with terminal pitch of 0.5 height of 1.0 mm, and width of 3.20 mm.(3.70mm including lock lever) These connectors are designed for PCB-to-FPC connections of mobile devices and various digital devices.
Guide for Getting FPC connector Y5B and Y5BW 02. Precautions for product design 02-1. Considerations in mechanical design 1) Position of the connector on a board Rigid boards tend to warp in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction during the production process. Poor soldering may occur depending on the warping direction.
Guide for Getting FPC connector Y5B and Y5BW 03. Board arrangement and precautions for using a fold and cut board (1)Please design and pay attention to the distance from the board edge to the pattern. When cutting the v-cut board, do not give an excessive stress to the connector, which risks damaging the connector.
Guide for Getting FPC connector Y5B and Y5BW 04. Precautions for FPC insertion and removal 1. Do not touch the lever or apply any load to the lever without inserting an FPC. Especially do not close the lever without inserting an FPC.
