It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) top-contact design with a slide lock actuator — the FFC is inserted without force, then the slide lock is pushed to clamp the contacts against the cable pads.
Cable Fit and Termination Checklist
The top-contact arrangement means the cable's conductive pads face upward toward the actuator — a common orientation error is inserting the cable upside down, which lifts the contacts and opens the circuit.
Materials and Environmental Range
The actuator is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), also glass-filled and halogen-free. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are cost-effective for low-cycle applications. Tin is not rated for frequent mating — the 20-cycle limit is the practical ceiling before contact resistance rises.
RoHS compliant.
