28-Position FPC Connector for Board-Edge Signal Routing
The SFW28R-1STE1LF: The ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) mechanism with a slide lock accepts 0.30 mm or 0.33 mm thick FPC cables, and the bottom-contact arrangement routes signals to the PCB without stressing the cable pads during insertion.
Cable Fit and Termination Checklist
The ZIF slide lock secures the cable after insertion; no insertion force is required, reducing the risk of damaging the flexible circuit pads. Termination is solder-only — the right-angle SMT pads are designed for reflow soldering. The 2.70 mm height above board keeps the connector low-profile for tight enclosures.
