Announced the 11503 series FPC / FFC Connectors compatible with 25Gbps transmission for 5G communication equipment

On October 19, 2020, IRISO, Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, CEO: Ikuo Yuki) announced the release of the 11503 Series FPC/FFC connector, which enables high-speed transmission of up to 25 Gbps in communication devices such as 5G base stations.
It features a unique Auto I-Lock structure is hard to remove, yet easy to disconnect, and locks in place as soon as the FPC/FFC card is inserted to prevent it from coming loose. It also comes with GND to ensure EMC protection. The optimized contact structure supports transmission speeds up to 25Gbps.
Additionally, a confirmation window has been added to the structure of the sister product 11501 series, which allows for visual inspection of complete FPC/FFC insertion, contributing to more efficient assembly work.
 

Main Features

Feature 1: Auto I-Lock structure ™
This series uses IRISO' unique "Auto I-Lock structure ™ *1" structure.
The mechanism eliminates the need to open and close slider cover or covers, and locks the FPC/FFC card as soon as it is inserted, reducing the risk of slanted insertion or incomplete Mating, improving work efficiency. (The lock is released by pressing the top of the lever.)
*1 Auto I-Lock structure is a registered trademark of IRISO
 
Feature 2: High Speed
The recent trend toward more sophisticated devices and increased data volumes is spurring demand for high-speed transmission in connecting components. Furthermore, the increase in high-frequency signal components has led to the need to pay attention to even minute details that previously were not an issue. IRISO' high-speed transmission compatible products are optimally designed by organically combining numerous field evaluations and simulations. By selecting a shielded FFC, this product achieves high-speed transmission of up to 25Gbps.
 
Feature 3: Usability improvement
This series follows the shape of its sister product, the 11501 series, and employs an "FFC insertion detection window" and a "protruding jaw" at the opening to improve operability.
The detection windows are located on both ends of the top of the connector, making it possible to visually check the FFC insertion position.
It is expected that the insertion check process will be omitted.
Furthermore, with conventional products, it was necessary to aim with pinpoint precision at the opening when inserting the FFC, but the 11503 series has a deeper notch at the opening and a "protruding jaw" shape, which widens the FFC receiving opening. In addition, a taper has been added to the top of Mating opening, making it easier to insert the FFC and improving the FFC's insertion ability.
 

Product Specifications

This connector is suitable for applications in communications equipment such as 5G base stations, servers, and switchers, as well as Home Appliances such as LCD TVs, home game consoles, and communication robots, and in-vehicle equipment such as cluster panels and navigation systems.
