ZIF Slide Lock and Cable Fit
Bottom-contact configuration means the FPC pads face down toward the PCB, which affects routing on the board side — confirm the cable orientation before layout.
Cross-Shop: Gold vs Tin Contacts
The sibling SFV26R-1STE1HLF shares the same 26-position, 0.50 mm pitch, ZIF slide lock, and 1.80 mm height, but uses tin-plated contacts instead of gold. Tin is adequate for fewer than 20 cycles in a clean environment; gold resists corrosion better in humid or mildly corrosive conditions.
