NOTES
For Cautions for Use, see the “GENERAL NOTES FOR USING FPC
CONNECTORS” in the Connector Technical Information. For other details,
please verify with the product specification sheets.
1. Recommended PC board and metal
mask patterns
Connectors are mounted with high pitch
density, intervals of 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm.
In order to reduce solder bridges and
other issues make sure the proper levels
of solder is used.
The figures to the right are recommended
metal mask patterns. Please use them as
a reference.

2. Precautions for insertion/removal of
FPC
Do not apply an excessive load to the
lever in the opening direction beyond its
open position; otherwise, the lever may
be deformed or removed.
Do not open/close the lever without an
FPC inserted; otherwise, the terminals
may be deformed, and the FPC insertion
force may increase.
Do not apply an excessive load to the
lever in a direction perpendicular to the
lever rotation axis or in the lever opening
direction; otherwise, the terminals may
be deformed, and the lever may be
removed.
These connectors are of the back lock
type, which has the FPC insertion section
on the opposite side of the lever.
Carefully place the FPC in the insertion
position or the lever opening/closing
position. Otherwise, a contact failure or
connector breakage may occur.
These connectors have top and bottom
double contacts. Do not insert an FPC
upside down. Inserting an FPC in a
direction opposite to that you intended
may cause an operation failure or
malfunction.
Fully open the lever to insert an FPC.
Completely insert the FPC horizontally.
An FPC inserted at an excessive angle to
the board may cause the deformation of
metal parts, FPC insertion failures, and
FPC circuit breakages.
Insert the FPC to the full depth of the
connector without altering the angle.
To close the lever, turn down the lever by
pressing the entire lever or both sides of
the lever with fingers tips.
If pressure to the lever is applied
unevenly, such as to an edge only, it may
deform or break. Also, make sure that the
lever is closed completely. Not doing so
will cause a faulty connection.
Avoid applying an excessive load to the
top of the lever during or after closing the
lever. Otherwise, the terminals may be
deformed.
When opening the lever to remove the
FPC, ensure that the lever will not go
over the initial position; otherwise, the
lever may be removed.
Remove the FPC at parallel with the lever
fully opened. If the lever is closed, or if
the FPC is forcedly pulled, the product or
FPC may break.
If a lever is accidentally detached during
the handling of a connector, do not use
the connector any longer.
After an FPC is inserted, carefully handle
it so as not to apply excessive stress to
the base of the FPC.
3. Cautions for using Y5BW
The holding contacts cannot be used as
conductors.
The holding contacts are located on both
ends of the contacts, and the shape of
the soldered portions is the same as that
of the other contacts. Use caution to
ensure connect identification.
