40 pin ttl rgb connector hold down clip TFP401
Please help, I have 2 TFP401 boards of which I did break the little clip that holds the ribbon cable on the 20 cm cable to the board. Shame on me--of course. Can I prevail on your kindness to mail several of the clips to me; also, when inserting the ribbon cable into the connection, does the blue colored end point out or in?? Thanks and have a very good day.

There are a some 40-pin FPC parts you can scavenge clips from.

The extender might be the best deal with two clips on a $0.95 part.

What is the maximum cable thickness that this (4523) can accept?

I've never seen a thickness number associated with FFC (Flexible Flat Cables) or FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit). Normally it is just length and pitch.

I'm using a (custom) FPC. What thickness range is the part designed for?

In believe .3mm thickness is the norm for FPC flat cables. On this particular part I don’t have a datasheet to reference for max thickness tolerance.

What is the UL94 flammability rating of this part?

There is not UL94 data for the FPC extender (#4523) or the TFP401 (#2218).

Can you provide what plastic (including grade) is used? If so, the flammability rating can be looked up.
