PS2 VersaPad®
Integration Guide
6.0 Connection
The PS/2 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 PS/2 VersaPad 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 PS/2 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.
