1. Scope This standard specifies the detailed specification for optial board connector type SF
using glass fiber by means of physical contact technique to connect flexible optical board and
ribbon fibers.
The purpose of this standard is to provide the information of required characteristics of the
connector and the methods to evaluate them, and to clarify the conditions to assemble the
connector to optical board.
