The **FCR-35-R** is an electronic component, specifically a **Flat Cable Connector** (FPC/FFC) belonging to the **FCR Series**. These connectors are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive modules, and industrial displays to bridge flexible printed circuits (FPC) to rigid PCBs. Below is a breakdown of its technical specifications and features. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The "35" in the part number typically denotes the number of pin positions (35 pins), while the "R" often refers to the orientation (Right Angle) or the packaging (Reel). | Feature | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Pitch** | 0.5mm or 1.0mm (varies by sub-series) | | **Number of Contacts** | 35 Pins | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle (Horizontal) | | **Actuator Type** | ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) or Non-ZIF | | **Current Rating** | 0.5A AC/DC | | **Voltage Rating** | 50V AC/DC | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Materials The connector is composed of three primary elements that ensure electrical integrity: * **Housing:** Usually made of high-temperature thermoplastic (LCP - Liquid Crystal Polymer) to withstand SMT reflow soldering temperatures. * **Contacts:** Phosphor Bronze base with **Gold or Tin plating**. Gold plating is preferred for the "R" series to prevent oxidation and ensure low contact resistance over time. * **Actuator (Flip-lock/Slider):** A mechanical lever that presses the flexible cable against the contacts, ensuring a secure electrical connection and strain relief. --- ### 3. Usage & Application The FCR-35-R is designed for high-density electronic environments where space is limited. 1. **Signal Integrity:** Used for transmitting low-voltage data signals (e.g., LVDS for screens, sensor data). 2. **Compact Design:** The right-angle configuration allows for a low-profile build, essential for slim devices like laptops or medical monitors. 3. **Durability:** Designed for a specific number of mating cycles (usually 20-30), making it ideal for internal connections that aren't frequently unplugged. --- ### 4. Implementation Example When integrating this into a PCB design, engineers follow specific footprint patterns: ```c // Example: Schematic Pinout Logic Pin 1: VCC / Power Pin 2-33: Data Signals (D+, D-, CLK, etc.) Pin 34: Ground (GND) Pin 35: Shield/Ground ``` ---
