3.2 Connector unmating operation
1) It is desirable to unmate the connector vertically to the mounted surface. However, in the PWB to
FPC connection, the higher the pin counts, and the thinner the FPC is, the more difficult to unmate
the connector in vertical direction.
2) When vertical removal is difficult, lift up either side of longitudinal, contact pitch direction. Do not
unmate the connector in connector width direction otherwise the contacts could receive great
stress.
If removing in the width direction, the side wall of the header side will be damaged. Or the case of
the receptacle side comes off the contact-pin. Therefore, please avoid removing the connector in
the width direction.
The next page shows an example of a problem that occurred when the connector was removed in
the width direction.
