Conventional FPC connectors require actuator operation during FPC insertion. However, this presents a risk of the actuator coming off due to operational errors. For this reason, FPC-to-Board connectors have been mainly used for internal connection in small, mass produced devices such as smartphones and wearables. However, since the FPC-to-board connector is connected by mating the connector mounted on the FPC to the connector mounted to the board, the total mated height may be greater than the connector itself. In such cases, the one piece, low profile FPC connector will be unsuited to increasingly thinner mobile consumer devices, and an even lower profile FPC connector is required.
