Product details

The 18 positions match a standard 18-conductor FPC; confirm your flex circuit width and pad pitch before layout. It is a bottom-contact connector — the FPC pads must face down when inserted. A flipped flex shorts the wrong row, so verify the cable end orientation against the actuator before assembly.

ZIF slide lock and cable thickness match

Zero insertion force (ZIF) with a slide lock: the actuator opens fully to accept the FPC without scraping the pads, then slides closed to clamp the cable. A thicker or thinner flex will not seat properly or may damage the contact beams. The cable end type is tapered — a straight-cut flex may not insert fully.

Gold contacts and 20-cycle mating life

For higher cycle counts, consider a connector with thicker gold or a higher cycle rating. The 100 V voltage rating and 1 A current rating are per-contact maximums; derate for elevated ambient temperature per the product drawing.

Right-angle SMT footprint and stack height

The 2.70 mm height above board sets the z-height budget; confirm that the mating FPC bend radius clears nearby components. The solder pads are bottom-contact only; no through-hole anchors.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy SFW18R-1STAE1LF and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Availability and lead time are confirmed at RFQ against your BOM quantity. Submit a request for a current quote and delivery estimate.

What is the difference between SFW18R-1STAE1LF and SFW18R-1STE1LF?

The -1STAE1LF has gold-plated contacts; the -1STE1LF has tin-plated contacts. Gold provides better corrosion resistance and maintains contact resistance over the rated 20 mating cycles. The -1STE1LF also accepts a 0.33 mm FPC thickness in addition to 0.30 mm.

What FPC thickness does SFW18R-1STAE1LF accept?

It accepts a 0.30 mm thick FPC with a tapered cable end. A straight-cut or thicker flex may not insert fully or may damage the contacts.
