Omron's patented rotary backlock design solves FPC mounting problems and enhances work efficiency
and reliability by providing easy operation during assembly and secure mounting even in tight spaces. The backlock design is away from the cable ensuring bending of the FPC cable does not open or impede the lock. ( where interconnect need allows).
| Omron’s Rotary Backlock Mechanism |
Improvement 1 - Rotary slider independent of the FPC socket
Slider does not disconnect if the FPC is lifted. High reliability - A mounted FPC will not come off if
excess force is applied to it. |
Improvement 2 - Four-sided FPC housing
Construction prevents FPC displacement. Mounting reliability is enhanced because the FPC is
held in a four-sided housing and is unaffected by the
slider operation. |
Improvement 3 - Double-sided contact
No need to discriminate between the upper
and lower FPC contacts. Connectors are the same, so it's not necessary to
distinguish between the upper and lower contacts
when connecting upper and lower PCBs. |
Improvement 4 - Delivered with the rotary slider open.
Reduces the labor required to mount FPCs. Assembly speed is improved over the conventional
rotary locking type because the rotary slider does not
need to be released. |
