Displayed here are the results from a test performed across three different 12-pin connectors by applying a horizontal force pulling on the FPC cable to test the retention strength. The first set is Panasonic’s standard Y5B series back lock connector which has an FPC holding force of almost twice as much as the competitor’s front lock connector in the far right column. When the Y5BW with holding contacts was measured, the FPC holding force increased to become more than three times as much as the competitor’s connector. To further differentiate Panasonic’s connectors, both of the options use top and bottom contact structure whereas the competitor’s connector only uses the bottom side for connection.
