0.50mm Pitch, 18-Position ZIF FPC Connector
The 10051922-1810EHLF is an 18-position, 0.50mm pitch FPC connector from Amphenol ICC's VLL series. It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) design with a slide lock actuator — the FPC slides in without force, then the slide lock clamps the contacts.
0.5A Signal-Level Current and 50V Rating
The 0.50mm pitch and gold flash plating (2.00µin) set the current ceiling; the contact beam and LCP housing keep the temperature rise within limits at rated current. For logic-level buses, display interfaces, and sensor signals, the 0.5A per circuit is adequate.
20 Mating Cycles — One-Time Assembly Duty
With 2.00µin gold flash on the contact face, the plating is sufficient for the rated cycles in a clean environment — not for repeated field reconnection or corrosive atmospheres. In a typical build, the FPC is inserted once during final assembly and rarely cycled again. If the application requires frequent cable swaps, a connector with thicker gold (15µin or more) would be a better fit.
Right-Angle SMT with Solder Retention
The LCP housing (UL94 V-0, halogen free) withstands reflow temperatures without distortion.
