Operation
Precautions
1. FPC/FFC Termination procedure.
Connector installed on the board.
1) Verify that the actuator is positioned upright.
If the actuator has rotated to the side, care-
fully rotate it upright.
2) Insert the FPC/FFC vertically in the connector
slot assuring that the conductive traces of the
FPC/FFC are facing away from the actuator.
1) Avoid forcing the actuator up or down without
the FPC/FFC inserted.
3) Do not insert the FPC/FFC diagonally. Doing so
will result in the corners of the FPC/FFC catching
on the contacts and will cause deformation of the
contacts.

3) Press down the actuator in the direction shown.
2. FPC/FFC Removal
Rotate the actuator upward and withdraw the FPC/FFC.
2) Do not attempt to open or over rotate an already
released actuator (refer to the diagram below).
These actions may damage the actuator.
4) Do not press down vertically on the actuator when
the FPC/FFC already inserted, it needs to be rotat-
ed to engage the lock. Refer to the diagram below.
Doing so may cause actuator failure.
