Kyocera Introduces One-Action-Lock FPC/FFC Connectors
July 19, 2023 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Kyocera Corporation introduced its 6893 Series connectors for flexible printed circuit board (FPC) and flexible flat cable (FFC), featuring 0.5mm-pitch one-action locking, with samples available for shipping June 29, 2023. This new series offers a 2x improvement in foreign matter removal performance compared to our previous products, helping to prevent the FPC/FFC deposits that can cause contact failure after insertion.
One-action lock type FPC/FFC connectors have evolved to meet the miniaturization and high-speed data transmission requirements of key market drivers, including office equipment, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. Additionally, with the rapidly growing EV market, this technology has expanded into onboard electronics for electric vehicles as well.
In principle, the essential features of one-action lock-type connectors include labor savings through the automation of FPC/FFC insertion. However, in practice, foreign matter adhering to the FPC/FFC can cause contact failure, creating an obstacle to full automation. Kyocera’s newly developed 6893 series has a proprietary contact-pin structure with twice the foreign-matter removal effectiveness of conventional Kyocera products. In addition to their one-action lock, which supports automation during FPC/FFC insertion and reduces labor requirements, this product also ensures better connection performance and reliability.
Kyocera will continue to expand its connector line, including FPC/FFC connectors, and will contribute to the electronics industry by creating products for rapidly changing market needs.

09/17/2024 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitSeptember in the United States is the season for back-to-school and football. In the arena of government policy advocacy, it’s the season for election campaigning and wrapping up the work of the current session of Congress. This month, there will be a flurry of efforts in Congress by legislators to complete action on “must-do” legislation, especially spending plans for FY25, which begins Oct. 1. In October, there will be a recess for the home stretch of the campaign; in November and December, there will be one more round of policy action by the “lame duck” office holders before the new U.S. government takes office in January. Now is the time for us to try and get those ducks in a row.
