This connector enables the connection between the PCB and an IDC flat cable to be established using only one connector, and allows the assembly of the flat cable to be easily and quickly performed without the need for customized tools. The connector is designed for fully-automatic SMT assembly, and is equipped with features to take advantage of this, such as a black insulating body, high temperature-resistant thermoplastic housing (LCP) for SMT reflow soldering, a pre-assembled mounting hood and tape-on-reel packaging.
