The right-angle surface-mount orientation with solder retention pads keeps the connector anchored during reflow and resists shear from cable strain in tight board-edge layouts.
Pitch, Positions, and Board Footprint
The mated height above board is 2.00 mm, which clears low-profile enclosures and keeps the FFC routed flat against the PCB.
Cable Compatibility and ZIF Locking
The slide lock actuates after the cable is inserted — no insertion force on the contacts during assembly, which prevents pad damage on thin flex circuits. The straight cable end type means the FFC exits parallel to the connector body; no bend or fold is required at the entry point.
