FH63 Series - HIROSE

Robust connector saves assembly time for industrial applications

Technology has changed the nature of manufacturing dramatically over the past 25 years. Previously, fabrication and manufacturing processes were completed by hand, by people. Now that computers and technology have permeated the industry, and with the advent of Industry 4.0, automation has become the competitive advantage in the manufacturing world of today.

Automation has allowed companies to mass produce products at outstanding speeds and with great repeatability and quality. Automation has become a determining factor in whether or not a company will remain competitive within the manufacturing industry.

To provide a solution and meet this growing trend HIROSE has introduced the FH63 series range of Flat Flexible Circuit/ Flat Printed Circuit (FFC/FPC) connectors which allows automated insertion of an FFC/FPC.

A unique single action lock allows an FFC/FPC to be inserted into the connector without opening the lock lever. This allows the FFC/FPC to be inserted with only one hand or with automated machinery to save valuable assembly time and to reduce mating failure.

Take a look at the video below to see the connector in action or click here for the datasheet.

Two-point independent spring beam contacts are utilized to reduce contact failure caused by contamination. The spring allows the contacts to move and wipe dust from the contact path, if any dust remains the second contact point will make the connection. In addition, the spring structure together with wide tapers allows easier insertion of the FFC/FPC.

Two-point contact design for dust prevention

High retention FFC/FPC force is achieved by the robust locking mechanism. This firmly retains the tabbed FFC/FPC into position to secure mating.

The correct placement of the FFC/FPC can be visually inspected through small openings in the top surface of the connector.

The connector series is 105 °C heat resistant and meets severe automotive requirements, and supports the signal transmission requirements of Embedded Display Port 1.3, HDMI 1.4a, USB 3.0, and V-by-One HS.

The FH63 can accept an FFC, FPC or shielded FFC for EMI prevention allowing flexible design options.

Hirose's FH63 FPC connector is available individually (144-2271) or in a reel of 3,500 units (144-1822) .

Supports FPC/FFC/Shielded FFC

Ideal applications are car navigation systems, in-vehicle cameras, car infotainment, handheld gaming systems, FA camera, industrial control equipment, servo amplifier, medical devices and others.
