42I is a FPC interface connector with low insertion force and high holding force. No need to hold the FPC after insertion in the connector. It can meet various mounting requirements
The FH23 series offers a staggered termination configuration with a 0.3 mm contact pitch and a low profile of 1.25 mm above the board. Its low‑insertion‑force (LIF) design reduces insertion force by about 36 % and improves holding force by roughly 22 % compared with the FH18 series. The connectors are available in both leaded and leadless terminations and support a wide range of contact counts from 15 to 71 positions.
Technical specifications include current rating of 0.3 A, operating temperature from –55 °C to +85 °C, insulation resistance of 50 MΩ min at 100 V DC, and contact resistance of 100 mΩ max. Recommended packaging is an embossed tape reel (2,500 pieces per reel) and detailed land‑pattern, metal‑mask and solder‑profile guidelines are provided for reliable assembly.
