Designed for High-Density FPC Applications

The KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT is an FPC connector designed specifically for flexible circuit applications where compact size and reliable performance are essential.

Its core design objective is to achieve stable multi-channel signal transmission within extremely limited installation space.

Featuring a 0.5mm pitch, this connector enables high-density interconnection while minimizing PCB space consumption. The 0.5mm pitch design has become a common solution in modern compact electronic devices where multiple signal connections are required within a small footprint.

With 30 pins (30P), the connector provides sufficient connectivity for complex circuit modules, supporting multiple signal and power transmission requirements.

The SMT (Surface Mount Technology) structure allows the connector to be directly integrated into automated pick-and-place production processes, improving manufacturing efficiency and ensuring consistent assembly quality.

Compact Structure with Reliable Mechanical Performance

The KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT adopts a right-angle surface mount design, allowing the FPC cable to connect parallel to the PCB surface.

With a height above board of only 1.2mm, the connector features an ultra-low-profile design, making it especially suitable for electronic products with strict space limitations along the Z-axis, including smartphones, smartwatches, and other portable devices.

The connector adopts a drawer-type Slide Lock mechanism. After the FPC cable is inserted, the sliding locking structure securely fixes the cable in place, providing stable retention force and reducing the risk of accidental disconnection caused by vibration or external stress.

The connector features a Top Contact design, with contact terminals positioned on the upper side of the FPC insertion direction. It supports 0.3mm-thick FPC cables and adopts a non-polarized design, reducing the possibility of incorrect insertion during assembly and improving production efficiency.

In addition, the No FFC/FPC Lock structure simplifies the mechanical design, helping reduce connector thickness while maintaining reliable performance.

Excellent Electrical Performance for Stable Signal Transmission

The KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT provides reliable electrical performance for various low-voltage digital and analog signal applications.

With a rated voltage of 50V, the connector meets the requirements of many compact electronic systems.

Its contact resistance of ≤0.03Ω ensures low transmission loss, while the insulation resistance of ≥500MΩ provides excellent electrical isolation. These characteristics contribute to stable signal transmission and improved system reliability, especially in applications requiring consistent data performance.

Optimized Materials and Manufacturing Compatibility

The connector features tin-plated contacts, providing excellent solderability and cost-effective manufacturing advantages.

With an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C, the KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT can perform reliably in a wide variety of environments, from consumer electronics to industrial applications.

The connector’s LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) insulating housing supports 260°C reflow soldering temperatures, making it fully compatible with modern SMT manufacturing processes and helping ensure high production yield.

The product is also RoHS compliant, meeting global environmental protection requirements.

Balancing Miniaturization and Reliability

The key advantage of the KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT lies in its ability to achieve an ideal balance between compact design and dependable performance.

The combination of a 0.5mm pitch and 1.2mm ultra-low profile height allows designers to maximize space utilization while reducing overall device thickness.

At the same time, the reliable Slide Lock mechanism and low contact resistance design provide both mechanical stability and electrical reliability.

By combining miniaturized design, automated manufacturing compatibility, and stable signal transmission performance, the connector meets the increasing demands of today’s electronics industry for smaller, thinner, and more reliable devices.

Wide Range of Applications

Consumer Electronics

In smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronic products, the KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT can be used for connecting the main PCB with various FPC modules, including camera modules, display modules, touch panels, and battery-related circuits.

Its ultra-low-profile structure makes it an ideal solution for compact devices where every millimeter of internal space matters.

Wearable Devices

Wearable products such as smartwatches, smart bands, and AR/VR headsets require extremely compact and lightweight components.

With a height of only 1.2mm and a weight of approximately 0.59g, the KH-CL0.5-H1.2-30PS-SMT provides an excellent connectivity solution for next-generation wearable electronics.

Automotive Electronics

In automotive applications such as in-vehicle infotainment systems, navigation modules, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) cameras, the connector’s reliable locking structure and wide operating temperature range help ensure stable performance under vibration and temperature fluctuations.
