Hirose has launched a compact carbon ink circuit (CIC) connector with a contact design to prevent carbon ink scraping and paste damage.
The FH52C Series CIC connector is designed for harsh environment applications including automotive systems such as head up displays (HUDs), in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and general interface systems. The carbon ink circuit
The connector has a 1.0mm pitch with a 2.0mm mating height and 0.3 mm CIC compatibility. This accommodates 0.3mm thick flexible circuits using carbon ink traces. A 110 degree robust flip-lock actuator provides secure assembly and avoids damaging the traces.
The L-shaped retention tabs provide a PCB retention strength of 90N, approximately 1.8 times higher than traditional I-shaped methods. In addition, the L-shaped retention tabs stick out from the edge of the housing, allowing for visual inspection of the soldering from above.
“Building off the popular FH52 Series platform, the FH52C Series is a compact and robust carbon- ink-circuit connector that meets the severe demands of automotive applications,” said Pete Lais, Assistant Vice President of Product Management for Hirose Electric Americas. “Delivering precision and reliability, the innovative connector design has a modified contact shape to prevent carbon ink scraping to ensure long-lasting performance in applications that experience harsh conditions.”
As well as carbon ink circuits, the FH52C Series also supports automated pick-and-place mounting in production.
