Clincher™ 11-Position FFC/FPC Receptacle — 0.100" Pitch, Flip Lock
The flip lock actuator (beige) secures the FFC/FPC cable with a tapered cable end type, accepting a 0.20mm-thick flat flex cable.
Position Count vs. Siblings in the Clincher™ Series
The 65801-040LF sits at 11 positions, a middle count between the 7-position 65801-036LF and the 8-position 65801-037LF on the low side, and the 16-position 65801-045LF on the high side. For a BOM requiring 11 signal lines, this is the exact count; the 16-position sibling would leave five unused contacts, which is acceptable but wastes board space and adds cost. The 8-position version is undersized for an 11-line harness.
The part ships in tray packaging — no tape-and-reel option is listed, so it is not suited for high-speed pick-and-place lines without a tray feeder.
This is a receptacle connector/contact type — it mates with a matching FFC or FPC cable that has a tapered end and 0.20mm thickness. The flip lock actuator clamps the cable; no secondary latch or TPA is present, so the cable retention relies on the flip lock alone. Termination is solder — typically hand-soldered or wave-soldered to the cable pads.
