Low-Profile, Space-Saving Connectors

Introducing low-profile, space-saving FPC/FFC connectors and board to board connectors that are widely used for internal connection of laptop computers.

Overview

Laptops need to be small and lightweight to allow for easier portability. Because of the design and multifunctionality of such laptops, low-profile, space-saving connectors for FPC/FFC and board to board connectors are required at the connection points in devices such as displays, subboards, keyboards, and modules.
Kyocera offers a wide range of products with improved robustness and workability, in addition to low-profile, space-saving products.

Development Background

Laptops come with a wide variety of connectors, making assembly complicated. Connectors that are resistant to damage are required because they can easily be damaged during assembly operations due to operational errors.

To meet these demands, Kyocera has developed FPC/FFC connectors with mechanisms that can withstand operational errors, improved workability for fitting flex cable in one action, and board to board connectors that are resistant to damage even when fitted in misaligned positions.

Features

Design Structure Resistant to Damage Even if Operation Error Occurs

In addition to the wide variety of FPC connectors available from various manufacturers in the production field of laptop PCs, in recent years, front flip and back flip connectors have often been placed together on the set board, increasing the number of cases where workers make operational errors.

Therefore, Kyocera will contribute to solving problems of broken connectors at the production site by making the design structure resistant to breakage even if operation errors are made.

6809 feature

Structure Designed with Improved Robustness and Insertability During Fitting

High Robustness

A metal fitting is attached to the inside of the receptacle of the board to board connector, making it resistant to damage and highly robust.

Improved Insertability During Fitting

The flat shape with fewer bumps on the connector mating surface improves insertability.
