The 66226-002LF: Rated 2A per contact, the current is sufficient for low-power signal and sensor lines, not for power distribution. The housing is free-hanging (in-line) with a slide lock, so it mates directly to a board-mounted header or another free-hanging receptacle without panel cutouts. Zero insertion force (ZIF) actuation means the FFC slides in without force, then the slide lock clamps the cable — no wear on the cable pads during insertion.
Mating Cycles and Contact Finish — What 100 Cycles Means
If the design requires frequent reconnection (e.g., test points or modular panels), the 100-cycle ceiling means the contacts will wear through the tin and expose the copper nickel alloy base, increasing contact resistance.
Cable Compatibility — FFC Thickness and Notch Type
The connector accepts FFC cables 0.33mm thick with a notched cable end — the notch aligns with the slide lock to prevent backward insertion.
RoHS compliant per the listing.
