F05056FA012M1WLJ9

Product Overview

F05056FA012M1WLJ9 is a zero insertion force (ZIF) FPC connector that accepts a 12 Pin, 0.50 mm pitch flexible printed circuit. The flip-lock actuator clamps the FPC firmly in place, keeping contact resistance low even under vibration and handling stress. The LCP insulator is UL 94V-0 rated, the terminals are phosphor copper with selective gold plating on the contact area, and the connector operates from -40°C to +85°C with RoHS compliance for global markets.

Product Specifications

Product Features

• Flip-Lock Actuator: the ZIF design opens and closes without insertion force, and the locking cover holds the FPC firmly against the contacts.
• Low 2.1 mm Profile: the compact height fits slim display, battery and main-board to FPC connections in portable devices.
• High Reliability Contacts: phosphor copper terminals with selective gold plating keep contact resistance at 30 mΩ Max.
• Flame-Retardant Insulator: UL 94V-0 LCP body withstands reflow soldering temperatures and resists deformation.
• Wide Operating Range: rated from -40°C to +85°C with 500 V AC withstanding voltage for dependable performance.

Packing Details

F05056FA012M1WLJ9 connectors are packed in reels with lot number coding for traceability, sealed in anti-static bags, and boxed in standard export cartons suitable for SMT pick-and-place lines.

Applications

• LCD and Touch Displays: board-to-FPC connection in portable display modules.
• Laptops and Tablets: internal flex circuit links for keyboards, batteries and main boards.
• Printers and Scanners: printhead and sensor flex cable connections.
• Automotive Displays: instrument cluster and center information display modules.
• Smart Home Devices: compact control boards using flexible printed circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is a ZIF FPC connector and how does the flip lock work?

A: ZIF stands for zero insertion force. The actuator cover is opened, the FPC cable is inserted without force, and the cover is pressed closed so the contact beams clamp the cable terminals. This avoids scratching the contacts and gives a secure, vibration-resistant connection.

Q: What cable size does the F05056FA012M1WLJ9 accept?

A: It accepts a 12 Pin flexible printed circuit with 0.50 mm pitch. The recommended FPC thickness and insert depth are given in the technical drawing, and the PCB land pattern is also provided for layout.

Q: Is the F05056FA012M1WLJ9 suitable for reflow soldering?

A: Yes. The UL 94V-0 LCP insulator is designed for surface mount reflow processing, and the connectors are supplied in reels compatible with SMT pick-and-place equipment.
