Molex, Easy-On, 52746 0.5mm Pitch 20 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector, ZIF Bottom Contact

Easy On 52435, 52745, 52746 and 54104 series ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) right angle SMT mount FPC connectors with a 0.5 mm pitch and a space saving design making them ideal for use in tight packaging applications. These Easy On FPC connectors feature a slide type actuator which provides a secure connection between the FPC and the connector terminals. The 52746 series FPC connectors have hinged actuators that allow easier insertion of the FPC. The connector contacts are top aligned and are designed to move with the cable when it is pulled up or down. This feature helps provide a secure contact retention force and ensures that electrical contact is maintained. Solder tabs (or nails) on the base of the connector provide secure PCB retention and strain relief for the solder tail joints.
