19.01.2011 - Miniflex3-BFN - Smallest Back-ZIF type FPC Connector in the world*
MINIFLEX3-BFN is a compact design Back-ZIF connector (developed and produced by I-PEX) for 0.3mm pitch FPC connection.
The mounting height is 0.9mm and so low profile. It is mainly used for inner connection of small (mobile) devices. Advantage of the Back-ZIF type has been kept and not far behind from the smallest class of Front-Flip type.
With a Width of only 3.0mm (Actuator closed) it is actually the smallest class (Back-ZIF type) Connector in the world.(*1) The base projected area is reduced 45% compared with our previous product which allows flexible design of PCB.
* Confirmed by I-PEX Jan. 2011
Features
