The Omron XF Series of FPCs features a patented BackLock mechanism that shaves approximately two seconds off the installation time of each connector, compared to competing products. This results in time savings of up to 30 days on an average installation of half a million connectors. Omron XF Series FPCs include double-sided contacts to maintain stable contact force, unique twist-lock mechanisms, and the smallest board size in the industry.

The patented rotating rear locking mechanism in the XF series offers several key features and benefits. The rotating lock is independent of the FPC socket, so it won't disengage if the FPC is lifted. Assembly reliability is also improved because the FPC is housed in a four-sided encapsulation that prevents any movement. All but two models in the XF series have dual contacts, eliminating the need to distinguish between the top and bottom contacts when connecting to the upper and lower PCBs. Unlike traditional FPC connectors, XF series interconnects are delivered with the rotating lock open for faster installation.

Omron XF Series FPCs enable designers to develop and miniaturize next-generation products and adapt them to a wide range of applications, including virtually any device with an LCD screen. Key applications for the XF Series include robotics, mobile devices, LCD TVs and tablets, cameras and music players, surveillance cameras, ultrasound and X-ray equipment, infotainment systems, electricity meters, and marine equipment.
