Release of High-Contact Reliability Vertical 0.5mm Pitch FPC Connector
SMK has released EF-53 Series, a high contact reliability and easy to operate vertical 0.5mm pitch FPC connector. The new EF-53 Series uses a ZIF structure as well as a flip lock system for opening and closing the cover, resulting in improved operability in comparison to slide system models. Read more
Development of Shielded FFC Connector with High-Speed Transmission Capability by SMK
SMK has release EN-5D Series of 0.5 mm-pitch shielded FFC connector supporting high speed transmission. N-ZIF structure of this newly introduced EN-5D Series offers a easy insertion of FFC with only one action. Furthermore, the product FFC fall-out prevention mechanism guarantees greater operability and reliability. The new product adapts to high speed serial transmission such as LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) and TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) (HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) ).

Development of Optical-Coupled MOSFET using Light for Signal Transmission
Renesas Electronics has developed a compact optical coupled MOSFET featuring a low output capacitance. The new MOSFET achieves complete electrical isolation with its package due to use of light for signal transmission. The newly developed PS7901D-1A comes in an industry’s leading ultra-compact 4-pin flat-lead package, measuring only 2.9 mm x 2.3 mm, making it 40% smaller that existing PS78 series product. The new MOSFET combines low output capacitance of 0.75 picofarads and low leakage current, making the new MOSFET ideal for high frequency signal control in such application as IC testers as well as factory automation equipment, and office equipment.

Release of Back Flip Lock Type FPC Connector by SMK
SMK has developed a back flip lock type FPC, using a 0.5mm pitch, right angle, ZIF structure and a back flip system for opening and closing the cover. The development of the new FPC connector was in response to overcome the difficulty of securing adequate tensile strength in the vertical direction of FPC, a requirement in improving freedom of design and ensuring contact reliability in AV and automotive equipment. The new BF-51 FPC connector resolve this issue by using a structure that directly relieves the load from the cover with its back flip lock. The new FPC has an upper and lower point of contact ensuring secured contact reliability as well as greater wiring freedom within the FPC devices. Read more
