FH41 & FH48 0.5mm Pitch FFC/FPC Connectors

High-Speed Serial Interface Technology for Image Transmission

The Hirose Electric FH41 & FH48 Series 0.5mm Pitch FFC/FPC Connectors support high-speed serial interface technology for picture transmission and next-generation chip V-by-One® HS by THine. The FH41 and FH48 Series feature an exclusive GND terminal design, impedance-matched shield FFC ground contacts, and high-speed transmission rates using a differential impedance of 100Ω±10% (3.75 Gbps max.). Highly reliable mechanical and electrical connections are achieved using Hirose Electric's proven design features including precise FFC/FPC positioning, flip-lock rotating actuator, durable construction, and tactile confirmation lock to assure a secure connection. FH41 & FH48 Series 0.5mm Pitch FFC/FPC Connectors are offered as right angle and vertical connectors respectively with the FH48 Series utilizing the same FFC as the horizontal FH41 Series connectors.
