Horizontal Bottom Contact Connector
The horizontal bottom contact connector uses a flip locking actuator to lock the ribbon cable into the ZIF
connector. The cable is inserted horizontally into the connector.
Warning! When opening or closing this type of actuator, gently lift the center of the actuator using
your finger.
 Do not use a fingernail or screwdriver to open the actuator: this could damage the ribbon
cable.
 Do not close the actuator from the ends.
How to Remove a Cable from the Horizontal Bottom Contact Connector
1. Place two fingers towards each end of the locking actuator, and then gently lift the actuator to the
unlocked position.
2. Slide the cable out of the connector.
