The SFW16R-4STE1LF: Right-angle SMT mounting with a 2.70 mm height above board suits low-profile enclosures and board-edge cable exits. The slide lock actuator provides positive cable retention without requiring insertion force on the flex pads — the ZIF mechanism wipes the contact beams onto the FFC conductors.

Peer Comparison — Position Count Variants
The SFW16R-4STE1LF shares the same 1.00 mm pitch, 2.70 mm height, tin-plated contacts, and ZIF slide lock with the 8-position SFW8R-4STE1LF and the 20-position SFW20R-4STE1LF.
Accepts FFC or FPC with notched, tapered cable ends in the 0.30 mm to 0.33 mm thickness range. The top-contact design requires the cable conductors to face upward when the connector is viewed from the top. The slide lock secures the cable after the ZIF actuator is closed — no secondary latch needed.
