I-PEX's unique countermeasure to potential issues caused by closing actuator without FPC inserted

"Empty-closure", a common occurrence in manufacturing and assembly, is the operation of an actuator without inserting an FPC into the connector. It can cause connector damage or incomplete mating when the FPC is subsequently inserted. This white paper introduces the "empty-closure" issue by using I-PEX's MINIFLEX^® series as an example, and how it is addressed, as well as the design know-how gained through analysis and calculation to ensure that the connector will function even if an empty closure occurs.

How I-PEX Connectors Are Helping to Accelerate the Evolution of AR/VR/MR Devices

The market size of AR/VR/MR is expected to continue to grow significantly in the future, with the strength of improving the sense of immersion in virtual reality. As the pursuit of higher image quality, smaller size, and lighter weight AR/VR/MR devices accelerates, I-PEX contributes to the design of devices with connectors that are both smaller and transmit data faster.

Connector Locking Features

Connectors with locking functions can strengthen the mating retention force, which helps prevent disengagement of the connection. There are various types of locking methods for connectors.

I-PEX High-Temperature Connector Products

I-PEX has a large lineup of general-purpose connectors rated at 85°C and products designed for consumer devices, and we have also developed a number of products that can handle high temperatures, from 105°C to 125°C.
