04. Precautions for mating and unmating
04-1. Precautions for mating
This connector features a compact and thin design. Although it is designed to be
easily handled, follow the rules for mating below to avoid damage to the molded part
and buckling or deformation of the contact.
(1)Roughly position the connector on the FPC board to a mating position of the
connector on the motherboard.
provided, tentative positioning becomes easy.
(2)Slightly move the connector on the FPC board in the X and Y directions to check
that the mating position is correct.
(3)Lightly press the connector until mating between the simple locking sections and
mating between the contacts and posts of both connectors are completed.
A snapping sound will indicate that the simple locking sections are completely
mated.
(4)After completing the mating process, check that the clearance between the FPC
board and the motherboard is visibly even in both the X and Y directions.
If the space is not even, mating may not be completed. Unmate the connectors
once, check that there is no damage, and press them in again.
(5)In cases when the reinforcing plate is thin, following method makes mating easy.
1, Put a thick board on the connector after checking that the mating position is
correct.
2, Press them with both hands.
(6) Do not remove or insert the electrified connector.
(in the state of carrying current or applying voltage)
The following ways of mating in the drawings may cause deformation of the contacts,
crushing of the molded part, generation of resin particles that cause a contact failure
when entering the contact section, a return failure of the socket contact due to
crushed molded part, etc. Make sure to avoid mating in the following ways.
Press-fitting while the mating inlets of
the socket and header are not matched.
