FPC connectors
Hirose FH55-22S-0.5SH FPC connectors enable compact camera design.
The small-sized connectors are sensitive to mechanical stress and are specified for
maximum 20 mating and unmating cycles. Especially if you are inexperienced with
this connector, be very cautious. If the FPC connector is broken, the camera must
be replaced. To install and operate cameras safely, read this section carefully.
Instructions in
on page 166 include helpful information to
enable proper installation.
