The F31W-1A7H1-11016: It uses a zero insertion force (ZIF) slide lock mechanism — the actuator slides to clamp the cable, not flip up — which keeps the profile low and the cable held without a secondary latch. The contacts are vertical and one-sided, meaning the FFC pads face the same side as the actuator; the cable end can be straight or tapered, accommodating 0.30 mm or 0.33 mm thick flex circuits. The 30 mating cycles reflect the gold flash thickness — this is a signal-level interconnect for one-time assembly or occasional rework, not high-cycle field disconnect. The height above board is 4.25 mm, which fits tight z-height budgets in mezzanine or board-edge layouts.
This 16-position connector sits between the 10-position (F31W-1A7H1-11010) and 12-position (F31W-1A7H1-11012) versions, and below the 24-position (F31W-1A7H1-11024) variant.
