connectors for membrane strips

2017-05-22 by klosmon

Hola --
Currently trying to find replacement connectors (5 and 10 pin) for the plastic membrane strips from the right control panel to the left.
Found something that looks right, but is 1mm pitch, which is too small.
Anyone have a lead on where I can find the correct ones?
Thanks.

Greg,

I recently bought this number from Mouser for another project.
It's a 20-pin FPC pc mount connector. Just tried it with my broken off
bit of flex from the old front panel and the spacing is the same.

571-7-520355-0 TRIOMATE ASSY, TE connectivity FFC and FPC connectors

The contacts look strange in that some stick out more than others.
It looks like the connector is damaged, but I think that was done on purpose so
that different parts will make contact first. Not important here.

Maybe they have ones that have fewer contacts?

Bob

Trio-Mate, Tyco Electronics a.k.a. TE Connectivity

preferred alternate
5-pin 5-520314-5 5-487508-4
7-pin 5-520314-7 5-520353-7
10-pin 6-520314-0 6-176982-0

You can often find them at Digikey or Mouser. The alternate ones are identical except they don't have the crimped leads that hold them into the board while soldering.
