F05055FA080M1WLJ9

Product Overview

This model is categorized within the “Narrow Version” series, distinguished by a compact body width of 6.0mm to maximize available PCB real estate. It is engineered with a front-flip (actuator) locking mechanism and a bottom-contact design. To ensure signal integrity and enhance mechanical stability, the assembly is equipped with integrated left and right grounding clips.

Product Specifications

Height: 2.1 mm.
Body Width: 6.0 mm (Narrow Version).
Number of Positions: 80 Pins.
Housing Material: White LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer).
Actuator Material: Black LCP.
Terminal Material: Phosphor Copper with semi-gold/tin plating.
Grounding Clips: Copper Alloy with Matte Tin plating.
Contact Area Plating: Gold plating (1u” Min) over a Nickel underplate (50~100u”).
Solder Area Plating: Matte Tin (80~160u”).

Product Features

ZIF Flip-Lock Design: The front-flip actuator allows for zero-force insertion of the FPC, protecting delicate conductive “gold fingers” from mechanical wear during assembly.
Integrated Shielding: Features grounding clips on both sides (grounding function) to provide a secure electrical path for EMI reduction and increase the mechanical strength of the solder joints.
Space-Saving Profile: The 6.0mm narrow width allows for high-density placement on modern PCBs compared to wider 8.0mm variants.
Thermal Reliability: Constructed with high-performance LCP materials, making the connector fully compatible with standard lead-free high-temperature reflow soldering processes.
Superior Connectivity: Selective gold plating in the contact area ensures low contact resistance and long-term environmental durability.

Applications

Given its 80-pin high-density configuration and grounded design, this connector is typically used in:

High-Resolution Displays: Connecting high-definition LCD or OLED panels to main control boards.
Consumer Electronics: Internal high-bandwidth signal routing for premium laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Automotive Systems: Digital instrument clusters and infotainment system displays.
Industrial/Medical: Compact diagnostic imaging and high-density monitoring equipment.

Packing Details

Packaging Type: Vacuum Packaging.
Function: The vacuum seal protects the gold-plated terminals and the LCP housing from environmental moisture and oxidation during transit and storage.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Does the F05055FA080M1WLJ9 provide grounding for EMI management? Yes, this model is designed “with grounding function” and includes integrated left and right copper alloy clips to manage electromagnetic interference and provide secure mechanical retention.

2. Which direction should the FPC conductive gold fingers face? This connector utilizes a bottom-contact design, meaning the conductive traces of the FPC must face downward toward the PCB surface upon insertion.

3. What is the benefit of the “Narrow Version” 6.0mm width for an 80-pin connector? The 6.0mm width allows for significant PCB space savings compared to standard wide versions while still providing a robust grounded connection for a high pin-count 80-pin interface.
