ZIF Actuation and Slide Lock for Cable Retention
The SFV33R-1STBE1HLF: Zero insertion force (ZIF) with a slide lock: the actuator slides to clamp the FFC or FPC without forcing the contacts. The slide lock holds the cable in place against vibration and incidental tug — no secondary latch needed. The bottom-contact design means the cable pads face down against the contacts.
Rated for 20 mating cycles. The gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts handle this cycle count with stable contact resistance. In a product that sees cable disconnect once during manufacturing and once in field service, the 20-cycle margin is adequate — but this is not a connector for repeated daily unmating.
Packaging and Assembly for the Line
The housing is LCP, glass-filled, halogen-free, rated UL94 V-0.
The SFV30R-1STBE1HLF is a 30-position variant with identical features — same gold plating, slide lock, and bottom contact. The SFV34R-3STBE1HLF is a 34-position version that accepts 0.33 mm FPC thickness.
