6.0 Connection
The USB VersaPad is available in two connection methods for both data and button
connections.
 Flat Flexible Cable interface (FFC)
 Wire to Board Header Connector interface
6.1 Molex Headers
One connector option for the VersaPad is to use wire to board header connectors. The J7
header (Molex #53261-0471) is used for connecting external mouse buttons to the
VersaPad PCBA. The J6 header (Molex #53261-0871) is the VersaPad USB
communication header.
6.2 Molex Header Cables
The mating wire harness cable to the wire to board connector is not shipped with the
standard product. The Molex connector series #51021 are designed to mate with the J6
and J7 headers. The metallic contacts that slip into the #51021 housing can be either
50079-8 or 50058-8. The 50079 contacts accept wires AWG 26-28, and the 50058 contacts
accept wires AWG 28-32.
6.3 Flat Flex Cable Connector (FFC)
The VersaPad is also available in a FFC connector option for the USB and external button
connections. Refer to specification for FCI SFV4R-1STE1LF for further details.
6.4 Flex Cable
The flexible cable, not shipped with the standard module, shall be designated for insertion
into FFC connector. An example cable is Parlex 050R04-76B. Refer to the FCI connector
specification for cable geometry requirements if you are designing a custom FPC cable
interface.
