BConnector Operating Instructions & Precautions
●Bottom Contact Type (common for 0.5mm/1mm)
Operating Instruction Precautions for Use
1. FPC/FFC Insertion
1 Lift up the lock lever.
(The lock is released.)
The lock lever can be simply operated by flicking it
up with the fingernail of the thumb or forefinger.
2. FPC/FFC Removal
1 Lift up the lock lever and pull out the FPC after the
lock is released.
2 Insert the FPC with the conductive surface fac-
ing down.
Insert the FPC so that it is perpendicular with
respect to the connector.
1 Avoid grasping the lock lever with your fingers or
hooking the lever (especially with your fingernail).
The part is small and thin and could be damaged.
3 Press down the lock lever
When the FPC is partially inserted or there is an
extreme insertion offset, the lock level will engage
poorly or not at all. Should this happen, remove the
FPC with the removal method of 2-(1) and perform
the operation of 1-(1) again.
2 Please ensure that the FPC is properly inserted
into the connector insertion slot. Failing to insert
the FPC properly could cause FPC breakage and
conduction faults.
3 Due to the structure of the connectors, they do not
have strong resistance to upward pulling; there-
fore, support the FPC when a pulling force is
applied to it.
