What this 5-position FFC/FPC connector fits
The F52L-1A7A1-11005 is a 5-position, 1.00 mm pitch FFC/FPC connector from the Amphenol ICC Aorora F52L series, terminated by solder to the board in a vertical orientation. It accepts a 0.33 mm thick notched flat flex cable, with a slide lock to retain the cable after insertion.
Board layout and cable prep for this F52L member
The cable end must be notched per the connector's keying, and the slide lock is actuated after the FFC/FPC is inserted. The 0.33 mm cable thickness is specified — using a thinner or thicker cable will compromise contact force or lock engagement. Solder termination is straightforward for SMD reflow; the solder retention feature adds a mechanical anchor that reduces shear stress on the contacts during cable handling.
