Board Fit and Routing: 1.00 mm Pitch, 8 Positions, Right-Angle SMT
The F51L-1A7H1-11008: It mounts surface-mount, right-angle, with a mated height above board of 0.100" (2.54mm), which keeps the cable low over the PCB for tight enclosures.
Termination and Retention: ZIF Flip Lock, Solder Retention Pads
This is a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector with a flip lock actuator — you open the gray polyamide (PA9T) actuator, insert the FFC, then close it to clamp the contacts. No insertion force on the cable, which avoids damaging the flex circuit pads.
Current, Voltage, and Environmental Limits
It is orderable through independent distribution channels. It is RoHS compliant.
The same base part number F51L-1A7H1 covers multiple position counts. The 4-position variant F51L-1A7H1-11004 shares every spec — pitch, height, current, voltage, plating, ZIF flip lock — except it has 4 circuits instead of 8. If you need more circuits, the 13-position F51L-1A7H1-11013 and 14-position F51L-1A7H1-11014 are identical in all other ratings. No functional second-source exists outside the Aorora F51L series.
