The SFW15R-2STE1LF: The 1.00 mm pitch and 15-position count set the board footprint for signal routing — each contact carries 1 A, which keeps the temperature rise within the PPS housing limit for typical FFC signal duty.
ZIF Actuation and Cable Retention
Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) with a slide lock: the actuator opens to accept the FFC without force, then slides closed to clamp the contacts. Accepts 0.30 mm thick FFC with straight cable end type. The top-contact design means the FFC conductor pads face upward when inserted.
Mating Cycle Life and Contact Finish
Rated for 20 mating cycles with tin-plated contacts.
For 18 positions, the SFW18R-2STE1LF shares identical specs except the higher circuit count. For a bottom-contact variant at 15 positions, the SFW15R-1STE1LF changes the contact orientation — verify the FFC pad layout before substituting.
