ETTERS, PA (October 08, 2007) – FCI, a leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect systems, has developed a 0.4mm-pitch flip-type ZIF connector ideal for optical disc drives and flat-panel display applications. Designated the GLH Series, the connector is available in pick-to-board, panel-to-board and board-to-board connections.
