KYOCERA Launches New Electronic Connectors that Feature One-Touch Locking for Automated Assembly Processes
Durable, heat-resistant 6810 Series FPC/FFC connectors enhance manufacturing productivity for automotive, industrial and consumer electronics
04 July 2017
Kyoto/London – Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo Tanimoto) today announced its first electronic connectors to feature one-touch locking, which will be available globally in July 2017. Kyocera’s new 6810 Series flexible printed circuit (FPC) and flat-flex cable (FFC) connectors provide automatic locking upon full insertion, a key feature to support automated manufacturing and robotic assembly processes. The 6810 Series connectors also offer heat resistance up to 125°C (257°F) for automotive, industrial and consumer electronics applications.
The trend toward automated manufacturing is creating widespread demand for new component designs that support robotic assembly. However, conventional connectors which require manual insertion and locking impede this trend. In contrast, Kyocera’s new one-touch locking 6810 Series connectors utilize a proprietary structure that enables quick, stable connections in a single insertion, removing a significant impediment to fully automated assembly. Specifically designed to support automated optical inspection (AOI) for high-speed quality assurance, these connectors offer a valuable opportunity to enhance productivity in electronics manufacturing.
