Additional Details

The 52808-0470 FFC connector typically features a pitch of 0.5mm. The number of circuits (contacts) is 4. It is designed for surface mount soldering onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). The housing material is usually a high-temperature thermoplastic that can withstand reflow soldering temperatures. Contact materials commonly include phosphor bronze or copper alloy with tin or gold plating for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The operating temperature range is typically from -40°C to +85°C. The connector’s low profile design ensures minimal height above the PCB surface. It is often used in applications requiring high-speed data transmission. Proper cable alignment is crucial for optimal performance.
