20-Position FPC Connector with ZIF Slide Lock
The SFV20R-2STBE1HLF is a 20-position, 0.50 mm pitch FPC connector from the SFV-R series, configured for top-contact termination with a zero-insertion-force slide-lock actuator. The right-angle surface-mount package sits 1.80 mm above the board, keeping the FPC parallel to the PCB for tight z-height budgets in portable or rack-mount equipment.
Mechanical Fit and Board Layout
The beige actuator is PPS, glass-filled and halogen-free.
Cross-Shop: Gold vs. Tin Contact Finish
The SFV20R-2STBE1HLF uses gold-plated contacts (20 mating cycles). The sibling SFV20R-2STE9HLF is otherwise identical but uses tin-plated contacts, which drops the mating-cycle rating to 20 cycles as well — the difference is corrosion resistance, not cycle life. For a corrosive or high-humidity environment, gold is the safer call. The SFV20R-2STE1HLF uses tin contacts and accepts a notched cable end (0.30 mm or 0.33 mm thickness), while this part is tapered and 0.30 mm only — cable-end geometry must match the actuator slot.
