With conventional rotary lock connectors, the rotary slider is positioned at the FPC/FFC socket. The drawback of this is that lifting an FPC/FFC or applying excessive force may cause the rotary latch to disengage. The new OMRON XF3M solves this drawback by employing a rotary backlock mechanism in which the rotary latch is located on the opposite side of the socket. This mechanism also enables the socket to be constructed with a four-sided housing that securely holds the FPC/FFC cable for enhanced mounting reliability. A sharp “click” on engagement makes it easy to confirm that the latch is completely locked. These features add up to improved work efficiency for cable mounting.
Features
– The four-sided housing construction of the FPC/FFC socket prevents displacement of the cable.
– A sharp “click” makes it easy to ascertain that the FPC/FFC cable is securely locked in position.
– Available in two types — 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm pitches.
– Halogen free.
The molded parts use LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) resins. Its halogen-free construction makes the XF3M environmentally friendly.
