Title: Help identify this connector part
Post by: kazzle101 on March 24, 2018, 06:08:49 pm

Hello

Can anyone name a manufacturer/type/part number of this flat flex connector. It has an unhelpful 7N written in the plastic and nothing else. It is for a DJI mavic pro drone gimbal mount but I'm sure similar are used in mobile phones.

I have been looking through the likes of Digikey and Farnells where there appear to be more types of flat flex connectors than fish in the sea

Thanks
Karl.

It does not look like a flat flex connector, That reminds me of a Mezzanine connector from Molex that is a PCB to PCB. Are you sure it is a flat flex connection rather than a flexi-PCB?

Hello Nielm
Well, it connects to a cable that is flat and flexible, so I just assumed :-)

However, you look to have pointed me in the right direction, this appears to be the part I am looking for:
