CF2 Series Board-to-FPC Automotive Connectors

Panasonic has developed the CF2 series board-to-FPC solution to meet the growing demand for FPC cables within automotive devices. The CF2 series board-to-FPC connection has multiple pin options (20, 28, or 32) and a +125°C heat resistance and necessary vibration characteristics suitable for the automotive and transportation market. A significant benefit is that these automotive connectors can be directly connected without requiring any relay wiring harnesses when connected with FPC cables and boards for battery management systems. The Panasonic CF2 series automotive connectors preserve contact reliability using a double-sided clip contact structure.

Panasonic CF2 series connectors have an inertia lock construction to prevent half-mating. Prevention of mating failure can be eliminated through the connector position assurance (CPA) function. The CF2 series design also allows reflow soldering of the plug assembly to be performed simultaneously with other surface-mount devices without other processes where competing devices require a manual connection.
