0.50mm Pitch Right-Angle ZIF FFC/FPC Connector
The F300-1B7H1-11026-E100 is a 26-position FFC/FPC connector from Amphenol ICC's Aorora F300 series, built on a 0.50mm pitch with a right-angle surface-mount footprint. The ZIF (zero insertion force) flip lock secures the FPC without stressing the pads, and the bottom-contact design mates with standard 0.12mm-thick FPC cables. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts carry 0.5A per circuit at 50V, with a 30-mating-cycle endurance that suits internal board-to-FPC links in displays, touch panels, and sensor modules.
Position Count and Pitch for BOM Fit
At 26 positions, this connector sits between the 20-position (F300-1B7H1-11020-E100) and 30-position (F300-1B7H1-11030-E100) siblings in the same Aorora F300 family, sharing identical pitch, height, contact finish, and ZIF flip-lock mechanism.
Board Layout and Mating Checklist
The flip lock actuator is black polyamide (PA9T, halogen-free), matching the black LCP housing. The FPC cable end must be notched per the connector's keying to engage the ZIF mechanism fully. Contact finish thickness is 1.97µinch (0.050µm) gold over nickel — a flash plating that supports the 30-cycle rating but is not intended for repeated field-service disconnection.
