Low profile for half-millimetre-pitch connectors
Molex has a new series of 0.50mm-pitch SMT FPC connectors with profile heights of 1.20mm
This new series of connectors is ideal for use in compact and mobile applications such as cellular phones, digital cameras, PDAs and notebook PCs. The series includes both top and bottom-mount zero insertion force (ZIF) styles to meet various application needs. The actuator on the bottom-mount version rotates up slightly to facilitate cable insertion.

The connectors are available in 5 to 24 circuits.
Along with low-profiles, the connectors are only 3.40mm wide for further space savings.
