This document is an operation manual for Kyocera Elco Corporation Series 6288 0.5mm pitch FPC/FFC connector, providing instructions on how to use the product and precautions.
The Series 6288 is a 0.5 mm‑pitch secure‑locking FPC/FFC connector developed for use in vehicles such as car‑navigation systems. Because of its very small size, careful handling is required.
The manual describes proper handling, mounting (preferably with a mounting machine), correct vertical insertion with the conductor side down, slider operation (up to about 115°), pulling out without damage, and storage conditions to avoid dust, pressure, and shock.
| Pitch | 0.5 mm |
|---|---|
| Connector type | Secure‑locking |
| Slider opening angle | approximately 115° upward |
| Intended application | Vehicles (e.g., car‑navigation system) |
Connectors should be mounted by a mounting machine; if mounted manually, do not touch the contact tails.
Insert the FPC/FFC vertically with the conductor side down, push until it contacts the card slot, and lock the slider fully; avoid oblique or insufficient insertion.
The slider can open up to approximately 115° upward when fully unlocked.
Store connectors at normal temperature and humidity, in a dust‑free environment, preferably in the embossed tape, and avoid applying pressure to contact tails and anchor plates.
