1.00 mm Pitch, 6-Position FFC/FPC Connector — Top-Contact, Right-Angle SMT
The F518-1A7A1-11006: This is a 6-position FFC/FPC connector from the Amphenol ICC (FCI) Aorora F518 series, with a 1.00 mm pitch and top-contact configuration. The contacts are tin-plated phosphor bronze with 80.0 µin (2.03 µm) of tin, rated for 30 mating cycles. That cycle count is typical for internal harnesses or one-time assembly — not for frequent field reconnection. The 0.5 A per-contact current rating suits signal-level circuits; a flipped flex or wrong cable thickness will short the wrong row. The housing is black LCP, glass-filled, rated UL94 V-0. Solder retention tabs hold the connector during reflow.
Cable Thickness and Orientation — Match the Actuator
The cable end must be straight (not angled) and the contacts are on the top side — a bottom-contact cable folded for top-contact will short the wrong row. The actuator must match the cable thickness; a 0.30 mm cable in a 0.33 mm slot may lose retention.
It is RoHS compliant.
