No insertion force on the cable means the pads don't score and the contact wipes clean on every mate.
Board Fit and Cable Match
The slide lock actuator is black; the housing is brown. Both the housing and actuator are glass-filled PPS (UL94 V-0), so the connector holds its shape through reflow and won't propagate a flame inside the enclosure.
Peer Comparison: 16-Position vs 14-Position
The SFW14R-2STE9LF is the 14-position sibling — same 1.00 mm pitch, same 2.70 mm stack height, same tin-plated contacts and ZIF slide lock. The only difference is circuit count: 16 positions on this part vs 14 on the sibling. If your BOM calls for 14 circuits, the SFW14R-2STE9LF is a direct drop-in on footprint; if you need 16, this is the one.
