FF0260SS1 FPC Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FF0260SS1 is a 60-position FPC (Flat Flexible) connector manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with bottom contact configuration. This connector features a 0.3mm pitch and is rated for 0.35A per contact at 50V. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support, legacy system maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FF0260SS1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 60
• Pitch: Must be 0.012" (0.30mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Connector/Contact Type: Must be Contacts, Bottom
• Flat Flex Type: Must be FPC
• Termination: Must be Solder

The FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05) manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical position count, pitch specification, mounting configuration, and contact arrangement. This alignment ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility at the board interface level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05) is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete FF0260SS1. Both connectors satisfy identical mechanical and electrical interface requirements for 60-position, 0.3mm pitch FPC applications. The Hirose part carries Active product status with RoHS Compliance certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new production runs and legacy system support.

Physical differences exist in height above board (1.20mm versus 3.00mm) and locking mechanism (Flip Lock versus Rotary Lock), which must be evaluated against specific PCB layout constraints and cable retention requirements. Current rating differs (0.35A versus 0.15A per contact), requiring verification that application current demands do not exceed the Hirose specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05) be used as a direct replacement for FF0260SS1 in existing designs?

A: The FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05) meets all core substitution criteria: 60 positions, 0.3mm pitch, surface mount right-angle configuration, and bottom contact arrangement. Physical mounting height and locking mechanism differences require PCB layout verification. Current rating (0.15A per contact) must be confirmed as adequate for the application.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: Primary differences include mounting height above board (1.20mm for FF0260SS1 versus 3.00mm for FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05)), locking feature type (Flip Lock versus Rotary Lock), current rating per contact (0.35A versus 0.15A), and contact material composition (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze). Electrical interface and position count remain identical.

Q: Are there compliance or supply chain advantages to using the Hirose substitute?

A: The FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05) carries Active product status and RoHS Compliance certification, whereas the FF0260SS1 is Obsolete. This provides improved long-term availability, regulatory alignment for new designs, and supply chain stability.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The FH30-60S-0.3SHW(05) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both connectors support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes, both connectors operate across -40°C to 85°C and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.
