| 802389 | 2009-08-19 04:05:00 | www.camerahacker.com What is the correct name for the type of connector used here? I need some for a prototype and was going to search Farnell for them but I'm unsure what I would need to search for |

| 802390 | 2009-08-19 04:14:00 | I would guess they'd be sold as *x*pin ribbon (cable) connector/plug/socket, but who knows. Low insertion force socket comes to mind, not sure if it's the same thing or not, I think they are the push-in ones, when you are looking for the clip-in? I know the cable is called Flexible flat cable. Now I think about it, I may be barking up the wrong tree with the LIF socket, because a ZIF (Zero insertion force) socket is the official name for something like a CPU socket. Will keep thinking! :p |

| 802392 | 2009-08-19 04:21:00 | Figured it out, they're called FFC/FPC connectors (nz.farnell.com) The name comes from what plugs into them, either Flat Flexible Cables or Flexible Printed Circuits Source: www.avx.com |
