Fully mated

Lift even, keeping both connectors parallel to

each other

When handling, circumstances may prevent

the connectors from being kept parallel when

un-mating. One end may be lifted as shown.

However, to use this procedure the connector

must be mounted on sufficiently rigid circuit

board.

Any deflection of the board during this opera-

tion may result in damage to the connector or

solder joints.

Do not attempt to start the un-mating of the

connectors from one side or corner.

Failure to exercise caution when un-mating

the connectors mounted on the non-rigid FPC

may also result in connector breakage.

It is the responsibility of the user to perform

verification of the repeated mating / un-mating

cycles with the connectors mounted on the

applicable FPC.

When the rigidity of the FPC is low, there is a

risk that the connector could break as illustrat-

ed in the diagram at left.

Please use the connectors after performing a

check of repeated operation with the FPC that

the customer will be using.

Evaluative results of FPC rigidity and various

items are available. Please inquire.
