0.50 mm pitch, 5-position ZIF FPC connector
The SFV5R-4STE1HLF is a 5-position, 0.50 mm pitch FPC connector from the Amphenol ICC (FCI) SFV-R series, designed for top-contact termination with a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) slide-lock actuator. The ZIF mechanism eliminates insertion force on the FPC pads, which is critical when the flex circuit is thin (0.30 mm or 0.33 mm) and repeated assembly or rework is expected. Rated at 0.5 A per contact and 50 V, this connector is suited for low-power signal paths — display interfaces, sensor inputs, or configuration buses where the current per line stays under half an amp.
Right-angle SMT with slide-lock retention
The slide lock engages after the FPC is inserted, holding the flex tail without a secondary latch; the actuator material is glass-filled PPS, halogen-free, matching the UL94 V-0 flame rating of the nylon housing. The connector accepts FPC thicknesses of 0.30 mm or 0.33 mm with a straight or tapered cable end. The top-contact design means the FPC conductor pads face upward when the connector is viewed from above — verify the FPC pad orientation matches before layout.
