ZIF Actuation and Slide Lock — Assembly and Retention
The SFV25R-2STE1HLF: Zero insertion force (ZIF) with a slide lock: the actuator opens to accept the FFC without force, then slides closed to clamp the cable. The top-contact configuration means the cable's exposed pads face upward when inserted.
Tin Contacts, 20 Mating Cycles — Reconnect Duty
Tin is a cost-effective finish for moderate-cycle applications; the 20-cycle rating covers periodic field-service or test connections without the cost premium of gold.
Peer Comparison — SFV25R-2STE9HLF and SFV25R-1STE1HLF
The SFV25R-2STE9HLF shares the same 25-position, 0.50 mm pitch, and right-angle SMT form factor, but accepts straight or tapered cable ends instead of notched. If your cable end type is notched, the -2STE1HLF is the correct fit.
