0.5mm Zero Insertion Force FPC Connector
TE Connectivity’s (TE) HFPC 0.5mm pitch connector provides an effective solution where tight centerline spacing makes traditional wire‑to‑board connections impractical. Designed for high‑density SMT applications, this low‑profile, lightweight FPC connector meets the growing need for compact interconnect solutions. Its zero‑insertion‑force (ZIF) design features a user‑friendly flip‑lock actuator and a dedicated slot for seating the FPC cable peg, enhancing PCB retention and securely holding the flex cable in place. It supports a wide range of display applications—from touch panels to color screens in major and small appliances—and extends its suitability to industrial and medical environments requiring reliable display interfaces and control systems.
