0.4 mm Pitch Ultra-low Profile FPC Connector FF18N Series 【Upper and lower Type】 DDK Ltd. OUTLINE FF18N series is a connector with a cable lock mechanism to provide positive retention of the FPC. This LIF connector has a both upper and lower contacts to interface with the FPC at a 0.4mm pitch. The ultra-low profile connector has a 0.66mm height, making it one of the smallest board mounted FPC ZIF connectors on the market. FEATURE - The FF18N’s dual contact design allows for design versatility by having both upper and lower contacts. - DDK’s original cam-type back-lock system provides reliable operation and ensures retention from inadvertent upward pulling of the FPC. - The FF18N ZIF connector utilizes a cable lock mechanism to provide positive retention of the FPC. - Back-lock mechanism ensures retention from inadvertent from upward pulling of the FPC. - These ZIF connectors are delivered with the lock lever opened for maximum production efficiency. - Available in pin counts for this low profile connector are 4, 5 and 6 pins. - Contacts utilize a nickel barrier to prevent solder wicking - High-temperature resin for lead free reflow process - FF18N ZIF connectors are delivered in a tape and reel package for automated machine processes. Note : ※ Please do not close the lock lever without inserting the FPC. Since cable lock tabs electrify next contacts, please do not use the cable lock tabs as ground tabs.

Connectors are delivered with a lock lever opened. picture ① You do not have to operate the lock lever before inserting FPC. (picture ① ) Please do not re-flow with the lock lever closed condtion. Please close the lock-lever with inserting FPC, otherwise the contact gap become narrower and FPC insertion force will rise. (picture ② ) Please do not load (0.5N×pin Min.) from the top of the lock lever. (figure ① ) And please do not load (0.5N×pin Min) toward the opposite direction of the lock lever, (figure ② ) otherwise the lock lever may be broken or contacts may be deformed. picture ② figure ② figure ① While FPC mated with connector, cable lock tabs conduct to both ends of contacts. Please do not ground the cable lock tab pad on the mounting board.（figure: ③） Please do NOT ground Cable Lock Tab ▼ Cable Lock Tab pad Contact ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ Contact pad ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ Connector ▼ P.C.B (mounting side) FPC figure ③ ◎ Specifications and/or dimensions in this catalog are subject to change without notice. Please varify the latest specifications with our drawings. http://www.ddknet.co.jp 4 FF18N Series Umit：mm ○ Operating Instruction and Cautions 2．FPC Insertion Please insert FPC to the pattern side up.(picture ③ ) when using upper contacts. Please insert FPC to the stiffener side up(picture ④ ) when using lower contacts. Please insert FPC straight to the connector. Due to the semi-reteining mechanism, some insertion force is necessary when inserting FPC. Please make sure whether FPC is inserted fully. Pattern side Stiffener side OK OK picture ④ picture ③ 3．Correct FPC Insertion Position As illustrated (picture ⑤ ), you can check short insertion(picture ⑥ ) and diagonal insertion(picture ⑦ ) by checking the position of connector housing and FPC positioning edge. If the FPC positioning edge is exposed from the connector housing, it may be short insertion or diagonal insertion. Please re-insert FPC fully.
