60-Position FFC Connector for Dense Board-Level Interconnect
The F305-1A7H1-21060-E100 is a 60-position FFC/FPC connector from the Amphenol ICC (FCI) Aorora F305 series, designed for high-density signal routing on a 0.50mm pitch. A zero-insertion-force (ZIF) flip-lock actuator secures the FFC without requiring insertion force on the contacts, reducing wear on the cable pads during assembly. Solder retention features anchor the connector body to the board during reflow, preventing shift that could misalign the fine-pitch terminals.
The FFC or FPC must be 0.33mm thick with a notched cable end type to engage the ZIF mechanism correctly. The bottom-contact configuration means the cable conductors face the PCB pads when inserted.
Housing Materials and Flammability Rating
The actuator is halogen-free polyamide (PA9T, Nylon 9T). Natural housing color and gray actuator provide visual contrast for inspection.
Position Count Comparison Within the F305 Series
The F305-1A7H1-21060-E100 is the 60-position variant of the Aorora F305 series. For lower-density needs, the series includes a 40-position version (F305-1A7H1-11040-E100) and a 15-position version (F305-1A7H1-11015-E100), both sharing the same 0.50mm pitch, 2.00mm height, gold plating, and ZIF flip-lock features. The 24-position variant (F305-1A7H1-21024-E100) accepts both 0.30mm and 0.33mm FFC thickness and uses a straight/tapered cable end type.
