The Molex 52892-1395 is a 13-circuit, top contact FFC/FPC connector designed for connecting flexible flat cables (FFC) or flexible printed circuits (FPC) to a printed circuit board (PCB). It is a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector with a fine pitch, ensuring a secure and reliable connection while minimizing the risk of damage during insertion or removal. The top contact configuration simplifies cable insertion.

Applications:

• LCD Displays: Connecting LCD panels to driver boards in monitors and televisions.
• Digital Cameras: Interconnecting image sensors, displays, and control boards.
• Mobile Phones: Connecting display screens, touch panels, and camera modules.
• Tablets: Integrating display screens and touch sensors.
• Portable Devices: Used in various handheld devices requiring compact and reliable interconnect solutions.
• Medical Equipment: Connecting displays and control interfaces in medical devices.

Features:

• Top Contact: Simplifies FFC/FPC cable insertion from the top.
• Zero Insertion Force (ZIF): Requires minimal force to insert and remove the cable, preventing damage.
• Fine Pitch: Allows for high-density connections in compact devices.
• Surface Mount Technology (SMT): Designed for automated assembly processes.
• Robust Actuator: Provides secure cable retention and reliable electrical contact.

Benefits:

• Ease of Use: Top contact and ZIF design simplify cable insertion and removal.
• High Reliability: Secure cable retention and robust construction ensure a reliable connection.
• Compact Design: Fine pitch enables use in space-constrained applications.
• Cost-Effective: SMT design allows for automated assembly, reducing manufacturing costs.
• Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications requiring flexible circuit connections.

Additional Details:

The 52892-1395 connector typically has a voltage rating of 50V and a current rating of 0.5A per contact. The operating temperature range is generally between -20°C to +85°C. The housing is often made of high-temperature thermoplastic, suitable for reflow soldering processes. The contacts are usually made of copper alloy with tin or gold plating to ensure good conductivity and corrosion resistance. The actuator is made of durable plastic designed for repeated use. This connector is RoHS compliant.

It is designed for FFC/FPC cable thicknesses of around 0.3mm. The actuator provides a secure locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection. Available in tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly processes.
