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.

Connectors with locking functions can strengthen the mating retention force, which helps prevent disengagement of the connection. There are various types of locking methods for connectors.

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.

Technical drawings vary in different companies. This article will help you better understand I-PEX connector product drawings, making your design and development work, and communication with your production line more efficient.
