FH12-50S-0.5SV(55)

The FH12-50S-0.5SV(55) is a surface mount FFC/FPC connector from Hirose Electric's FH12 series. It offers 50 positions with a 0.5mm pitch in a vertical orientation. The connector features gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for reliable electrical performance. The housing is made of polyamide (PA) or nylon with a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and the actuator is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This connector supports FPC/FFC thickness of 0.30mm and includes solder retention features for secure mounting. The one-touch rotating ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) mechanism with a flip lock design provides a clear tactile click upon successful mating, simplifying assembly and ensuring reliable connections. Electrical ratings include 50V AC maximum voltage and 0.5A DC per contact (derate to 70% when all contacts are used). Contact resistance is 50mOhm maximum, insulation resistance is 500MOhm minimum, and the connector withstands 150V AC for one minute without breakdown. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, including temperature rise from current. The connector is designed for high-density PCB mounting and is suitable for applications requiring flexible circuit interconnections.
