Product details

12 Positions, 1.00 mm Pitch, ZIF Actuator — Board Fit and Cable Entry

The SFW12R-3STE1LF is a 12-position FPC connector on 1.00 mm pitch from the Amphenol ICC SFW-R series. It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) slide-lock actuator — the actuator opens the contact beams so the FPC slides in without force, then the slide locks the cable in place.

20 Mating Cycles — Tin Plating, Low-Service Duty

Tin-plated contacts are cost-effective but wear faster than gold — this connector suits applications where the FPC is mated once during assembly and rarely disconnected in the field. The slide lock provides retention against vibration, but the contact interface itself is not designed for repeated reconnects.

0.30 mm FPC Thickness, Tapered Cable End

The cable end type is specified as tapered — the FPC insertion end should be chamfered or rounded to ease entry into the ZIF mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

What FFC cable thickness works with the SFW12R-3STE1LF?

The connector accepts FPC or FFC with a thickness of 0.30 mm. The cable end should be tapered for smooth insertion into the ZIF mechanism.

Is the SFW12R-3STE1LF compatible with the SFW12R-1STE9LF as a second source?

The SFW12R-1STE9LF shares the same pitch, position count, ZIF slide lock, current rating, and height above board. The main differences are housing color (brown vs black) and cable end type (straight and tapered vs tapered only). Both are active and RoHS compliant, so the SFW12R-1STE9LF is a functional cross-reference for the SFW12R-3STE1LF.
