Hirose’s BM24 series board to FPC connectors are a hybrid type with both signal and power pins. These connectors are compact with a low profile and are used to connect a printed circuit board with a flex-printed circuit. In conventional connectors power is supplied through multiple signal pins; by amalgamating these power lines into two pins, Hirose has reduced the mounting space and the amount of materials (metals, resins, and boards) that need to be used.
