1.00 mm Pitch, 18-Position ZIF – Board Fit and Signal Duty
The F52Q-1A7H1-11018: This is a signal-level interconnect for control buses, display links, or sensor data lines. The ZIF mechanism accepts FPC or FFC 0.30 mm to 0.33 mm thick, with a straight or tapered cable end.
30 Mating Cycles – Gold Flash Wear Budget
For a one-time assembly in a sealed enclosure, 30 cycles is more than enough. If the connector will see frequent cable swaps during test or calibration, the cycle count is a real constraint – plan for a higher-cycle sibling or accept that the contact interface will degrade after the rated count.
The part is RoHS compliant. The base product number is F52Q-1A7H1; the -11018 suffix denotes the 18-position variant. Tape-and-reel packaging (Cut Tape also available) suits automated pick-and-place assembly.
18 vs 17 vs 16 Positions – Same Footprint, Different Circuit Count
The F52Q-1A7H1-11018 (18 positions) shares the same 1.00 mm pitch, 2.00 mm height, gold flash, and ZIF slide lock with the 17-position F52Q-1A7H1-11017 and the 16-position F52Q-1A7H1-11016. If a BOM calls for 18 circuits but the mating FPC has 17 populated traces, the 17-position variant saves board space and avoids an unused contact. The electrical ratings (0.5 A, 50 V, 30 cycles) are identical across all three.
