Hirose's FH28 series provides a rugged, low profile connector for applications using 0.5mm pitch, Flexible Printed Circuits and Flexible Flat Cable. The "side catcher" feature on the FH28 gives increased FPC/FFC retention by forming a physical lock with the connector. This extra level of reliability is essential for critical applications like medical devices. FH28 is ideal in any applications that needs high reliability and retention force in a flex circuit connector.  

The Hirose Electric FH28 Series 0.5mm FFC/FPC ZIF Connectors provide a 2.5mm board height. They feature precise FFC / FPC positioning, a rotating actuator, strong retention force, and are used with 0.3mm thickness FFC / FPC . The Hirose Electric FH28 Series 0.5mm FFC/FPC Connectors are available in 20, 40, 50, 55, 60, 68 & 80 contact positions and the flat top surface and packaging on the tape-and-reel allows the use of vacuum nozzles on automatic equipment. Ideal for LCD, PDP, notebook computers, HDD, video and audio equipment, OA equipment, and other devices requiring high reliability ZIF connection of FFC / FPC .
