The 66226-016LF: With 16 positions, the connector handles a 16-conductor ribbon, common for parallel data or control signals in industrial and consumer gear. This avoids damaging the delicate cable pads and holds the connection against vibration — no secondary latch needed.
How It Stacks Against the 11-Position and 7-Position Siblings
The 66226-016LF (16 positions) shares the same 0.100" pitch, ZIF flip lock, tin contacts, and 2 A rating with the 66226-011LF (11 positions) and 66226-007LF (7 positions).
The free-hanging (in-line) mount and solder termination mean it's designed for cable-to-board connections where the header is soldered to a PCB and the FFC plugs in — typical for printer heads, display interfaces, and control panel ribbon cables.
