0.50 mm pitch ZIF with slide lock
The F31W-1A7H1-11018 is the 18-position member of Amphenol ICC's Aorora F31W FFC/FPC connector series, using a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) slide-lock actuator for cable retention. Contacts are gold-plated phosphor bronze rated 0.5 A per circuit at 50 V, with a vertical single-sided contact arrangement accepting 0.33 mm thick FFC.
Pitch, thickness, and board height
The 0.50 mm pitch and 0.33 mm FFC thickness set the routing density; the mated height above board is 4.25 mm. Solder retention features on the SMT tails hold the connector during reflow.
