16-Position ZIF FFC/FPC Connector — 0.50 mm Pitch, Top Contact
The SFV16R-2STBE1HLF: It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) flip-lock actuator to secure a 0.30 mm thick notched or tabbed flat-flex cable against top-side gold-plated contacts. The gold contact finish supports the rated 20 mating cycles — adequate for semi-permanent or infrequent-service connections where the cable is not cycled repeatedly.
Position Count Comparison Within the SFV-R Series
Within the same SFV-R series, the SFV16R-2STBE1HLF (16 positions, top contact, gold plating) sits between the 12-position SFV12R-1STBE1HLF (bottom contact, gold) and the 18-position SFV18R-2STE1HLF (top contact, tin plating). The 22-position SFV22R-1STBE1HLF uses bottom contacts with gold plating.
Right-angle SMT termination with solder retention features — the connector holds position during reflow without secondary board locks. The flip-lock actuator accepts 0.30 mm thick FFC with notched or tabbed ends; the top-contact arrangement means the cable's conductor side faces up when mated.
