Structure to Prevent Contact Distortion
Connector will still function reliably (contact gap graph 35 pins before and after operating actuator without FPC inserted)
Retention force of connector does not change greatly
Insertion force of connector goes up
The connector will still function even if the actuator is accidentally closed without the FPC being inserted after the SMT process.
