18-Position, 1.00mm Pitch ZIF Connector – Active Production
Board Fit and Routing – Right-Angle, Bottom Contact
This is a right-angle surface-mount connector with bottom contacts — the FFC/FPC inserts from the top and contacts the pads on the bottom side of the connector body.
The ZIF mechanism means no insertion force on the contacts — the slide lock clamps the cable after insertion.
Position Count vs. Peer SFW18R-2STE1LF
The SFW18R-2STE1LF shares the same 18 positions, 1.00mm pitch, and 0.106" height, but uses top contacts instead of bottom contacts. If your FPC pad layout is on the top side of the board, the -2STE1LF is the matching half — otherwise the -1STE1LF bottom-contact version is the correct fit.
