Application and Installation
This LCD contact strip is a specialized component that provides the electrical interface between the radio's control board and the LCD display panel. The conductive elastomer technology allows for a reliable connection without requiring soldered wires directly to the fragile LCD glass. The strip contains multiple conductive traces arranged to match the pin layout of the display, carrying signals for segment control, power, ground, and backlight functions.
Over time, LCD contact strips can develop problems due to contamination from dust or oils, loss of elasticity that reduces contact pressure, degradation of the conductive material, or physical damage during service. Symptoms of a failing contact strip include missing display segments, dim or flickering display, intermittent display operation, or complete display failure. Because the strip relies on compression for electrical contact, even slight contamination or loss of pressure can cause display problems.
Replacement requires complete disassembly of the radio's control head or main unit to access the LCD display assembly. The radio must be powered off and disconnected from all power sources before beginning work. The display module mounting screws must be removed to release the compression holding the contact strip in place. The old contact strip should be carefully removed, and both the LCD connector area and the circuit board pads must be thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contamination.
The new contact strip must be positioned precisely with all conductive traces aligned to their corresponding LCD pins and circuit board pads. Proper alignment is critical for display function. When reassembling, the mounting screws should be tightened evenly and to the correct torque to ensure uniform compression across the entire length of the contact strip without over-tightening, which could damage the LCD glass or the strip itself.
After installation, the display should be tested for proper operation of all segments, characters, and backlight before final reassembly. This component is essential for radio service centers and technicians performing display-related repairs on IC-V8000 mobile transceivers.
