There are various types of connectors, making it is necessary to find and select the most suitable connectors when developing new devices. Here is an introduction of the features related to the difference in the mating direction of small connectors used for internal connection of electronic devices.

The Clockwork team is dedicated to designing and developing open source portable devices. DevTerm and GameShell are its main representative products.  DevTerm is an open source portable terminal for each developer, with the I-PEX MHF^® I RF Connector on the motherboard, which connects to the antenna. GameShell is an open source portable console that connects the motherboard to the screen using I-PEX CABLINE^®-VS and CABLINE^®-VSF FPC Connectors for data transmission. Mr. Liu Hal, the chief executive/founder of Clockwork, and Mr. Yao Chongjing, the general manager/founder of Clockwork, shared their reasons why Clockwork chose I-PEX and the stories behind them.

One of the easiest connectors to handle in many of our I-PEX connector series is the FPC / FFC connector. The EVAFLEX^® 5-SE-G VT and EVAFLEX^® 5-SE-G HT connectors (VT = Vertical Type, HT = Horizontal Type) feature: 1.Auto-locking mechanism 2.Applicable for high temperature environments 3.Compatible with common FPC/FFC connectors 4.Grounding function, shielded FPC/FFC applicable

The I-PEX connector product lineup includes a series of connectors that employ a common design concept with multiple connection options. For PCB module products that are versatile for a variety of electronic devices, adopting a connector with a common design concept allows for the selection of multiple connection methods. As the number of PCB module connection method options increases, the markets for devices that can be targeted will also expand.　I-PEX proposes to use the common design connectors with wide range of connection method options, especially when developing highly versatile modules.

2020 was a year of changes. High-speed data communication infrastructure, such as 5G, has gradually begun to be set-up. I-PEX will respond with speed and flexibility as "an expert in innovative product development and engineering solutions," who creates new value, staying one step ahead of the needs of the times.

i-Fit^® is a unique solderless terminating technology used in the I-PEX micro RF connector (MHF^®) series. The solderless production process helps to stabilize the electrical characteristics of the RF jumper harness.
