Your request is being processed. A representative will be with you momentarily.
Your Digi-Key representative for this Live-Help session is Jill ext. 1316.
Jill ext. 1316: Welcome to Digi-Key Live-Help. How may I assist you?
ONebulus: Hiya Jill.
Jill ext. 1316: hello ONebulus
ONebulus: I have a technical question about the physical nature of part OR785CT-ND
Jill ext. 1316: ok
ONebulus: I am replacing this part on a device and have seen it in position but I don't entirely understand what I will be receiving when I order this part.
ONebulus: It serves to connect a flat printed cable (FPC) to a printed circuit board (PCB), correct?
Jill ext. 1316: yes
ONebulus: In the device I am repairing the clip itself seemed to be able to be entirely removed safely
ONebulus: No soldering.
ONebulus: There are pins parallel to the PCB that the clip seems to slide onto
ONebulus: Pins that are soldered to the main board, pins that come up and turn at a right angle, pins that the clip then slides onto and allows the FPC to slide into it and then be locked in by the clip's tab.
ONebulus: Am I understanding the nature of this connection?
Jill ext. 1316: correct
ONebulus: OMG wonderful.
ONebulus: Do the pins come with the clip or are they found elsewhere in your online catalog?
ONebulus: The pins that solder to the PCB
Jill ext. 1316: they are included
ONebulus: And if those pins are intact on the device then this clip should be able to simply slide onto them?
Jill ext. 1316: correct
ONebulus: I am all warm and tingly inside. =)
ONebulus: Thanks for your time and expertise Jill.
Jill ext. 1316: you are welcome
Jill ext. 1316: have a great day
Jill ext. 1316: Thank you for visiting. Please feel free to contact us at anytime.

Sorry for the long post but for me that was a huge ray of sunshine. The customer registration portion of Digikey is very simple I am going to go order mine now!
