One Action FH^™ revolutionizes the connection process by enabling connection through a simple insertion action. Unlike traditional connectors requiring multiple steps to open the actuator, insert the FPC/FFC, and then close the actuator, One Action FH^™ completes the connection by inserting the FPC/FFC. This design eliminates the need to touch the actuator, preventing potential damage and ensuring a secure lock upon insertion. The result is a dramatically reduced operation time and fewer steps in the assembly process, cutting down the work time to a third and simplifying the entire procedure.

One Action FH^™ is a game-changer in automated assembly, perfectly aligning with the needs of robot-operated production lines. The connector is designed with a large taper at the opening, facilitating smooth insertion of the FPC/FFC. Its unique spring mechanism significantly lowers the insertion force required, enhancing insertion performance. This thoughtful design ensures that One Action FH^™ can easily and efficiently operate by humans and robots, making it an ideal choice for modern, automated manufacturing environments where precision and ease of use are paramount.

One Action FH^™ offers unparalleled design flexibility, especially in constrained spaces where traditional connectors may falter. Standard connectors often necessitate actuator operation during the insertion of the FPC/FFC, which becomes challenging in tight spaces or when other components are nearby. One Action FH^™, however, requires only the insertion of the FPC/FFC for a complete connection. This feature allows for connections in narrow or limited spaces, making it versatile for various design configurations. The result is increased flexibility in design without compromising on the reliability or quality of the connection.

One Action connectors are designed to minimize assembly errors, especially in high-volume production environments. The simplicity of the insertion process eliminates several steps that are prone to human error in traditional connectors. Reducing the operation to a single action significantly lowers the likelihood of incorrect or incomplete mating. This enhances the production's reliability and maintains consistent quality across large-scale manufacturing.
