0.5mm pitch, Next Generation High Speed Wire-to-Board Connectors
FX16 Series
Features
1.Supports next-generation high speed
transmissions
FX16 Series supports next-generation high-speed
signals including signal transmission of up to
6Gbps. The FX16 series delivers exceptional
impedance-matching, even at sharp signal rise
times of Tr=50ps (10 - 90%). (Fig.1)
2. V-by-One® HS compatible connector
The FX16 Series connector is recommended by
Thine Electronics, Inc. for their V-By-One® HS next-
generation panel interface, due to the connector’s
outstanding signal integrity performance at 3.75Gb/
s - the top data rate of the interface. As shown in
Fig.2 on the right, the eye pattern remains wide
open at 3.75Gbps. (Please refer to the transmission
property data shown on Page 4.)
3. A patented flip-lock harness simplifies
FFC applications.
We have incorporated our proprietary patented flip-
lock design that greatly simplifies FFC assembly by
eliminating the need for costly cable soldering
(Fig.3).
4. Vertical cable plug
The vertical plug mating style simplifies the
assembly process. In addition, it offers a lower
profile by limiting the mated height to only 8mm
(Fig.4).
5. Multiple variations of plug style, cable
type and number of positions available
The series features a common plug for shielded FFC
and micro coaxial cable. Available plug variations
include right-angle, vertical style for batch harness
assembly and direct plugin styles. Multiple position
sizes are available (please see page 5 for variations).
6. RoHS compliant
All materials and substances used to produce
these parts fully comply with RoHS standards.

[Precautions for soldering]
[1] Recommended soldering iron
Wire solder with flux (lead-free type: Sn-3Au-0.5Cu)
When using micro coax cables……Ø0.15 Length : number of pos. ×0.5mm
Be careful not use an excessive amount of flux, especially when using a wire solder that contains flux. Doing so
may cause the flux to run up to the contact portion which can lead to contact failure.
[2] Prior to fixing the cables to the connector, make sure
that the conductor is placed correctly in the center of
the contact.
Fix the cable at the metal bar guide on the connector.
[3] Before you solder down the cables onto the connector, please check for the following issues :
・Deformation of the conductor
・Pitch deviations to the conductor relative to the contact
・Extreme uplift of the conductor tip end
This feature can lead to unsoldered spaces or solder
bridges.
[4] Recommended pulse heat conditions
Conditions will vary depending on the length/type of cable used, type of solder, etc…
Please reference the recommended profile conditions when setting up your working conditions.

[Precautions for resin sealing]
[1] To prevent insulation failure due to foreign materials, cable disconnection during the routing of the cable and other failures,
we recommend that the soldered area be protected with an ultraviolet curable resin or another equivalent material.
Recommended resin sealing material : Ultraviolet curable resin 3033 manufactured by ThreeBond Co., Ltd.
[2] Please refer to the resin manufacturer’s directions for recommended usage conditions.
[3] Ensure that the complete soldering area of the conductor is covered with resin. Be careful not to let the applied
resin flow into or stick to the connector contacts.
[4] Please pay close attention to the load (e.g. tension, stress.) placed on the soldered part after soldering. Poor
handling could cause cable disconnection.
[How to mount the cover shell]
[1] After connecting the cables, mount the separately sold cover shell (for micro coax cables : FX16-31P-GND).
[2] Place the cover shell over the connector from above, set it on the connector while holding it with your fingers.
[3] After applying it to the connector, check to see if all six "joining point" locations are correctly in place.

[Ground soldering of the connector to the cable]
[1] Soldering the metal bar of the cable and the connector shell will enhance the shielding properties and provide
additional cable strain relief.
[2] Do not apply too much solder as this can lead to deformation/melting of the cable/connector due to the heat
generated while soldering.
Plug (FFC holder type)
[Precautions during harness work]
[1] Inserting FFC
Insert the FFC straight along the guide rib of the mold, as shown in the following figure.
It cannot be inserted in different directions.
Please be careful not to deform FFC or damage the case or spring contact.
[2] Confirming the insertion of the FFC
Check if the FFC has been inserted correctly by observing the tip end of the FFC from above the connector.
* If the FFC was inserted correctly, the tip of the FFC will meet up with the wall of the connector.
