PCA SERIES
INTRODUCTION:
Adam Tech PCA Series Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) and Flexible
Flat Cable (FFC) connectors are ZIF (zero insertion force) connectors
designed to provide a fast, easy, reliable method to make a
connection of flexible printed circuits to a PCB. Adam Tech’s special
contact design completely preserves conductor integrity by
eliminating all wiping action while making connection. Flex circuitry
enters the connector and the connector cap is pressed down to
capture the flex circuit producing a stable, high pressure connection.
Raising the cap releases the pressure for exchange or replacement
of circuitry. This series includes single and dual row versions in
thru-hole or SMT mounting in vertical or horizontal orientations.
FEATURES:
Superior contact design protects conductors
High pressure contacts
Single or dual row versions
