1.00 mm Pitch, 4 Positions — Board-Fit and Signal Duty
The SFW4S-2STE9LF: The vertical orientation keeps the cable straight up from the board, saving lateral space and simplifying cable routing in stacked or panel-mounted assemblies.
ZIF Slide Lock — Cable Retention Without Insertion Force
Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) actuation means the FPC slides in freely, then the slide lock clamps the contacts — no force on the pads during insertion, which prevents pad lift on thin flex circuits. The slide lock holds the cable positively in vibration; it does not rely on a secondary latch or friction fit, so the connection stays engaged under moderate shock.
Tin Contacts, 20 Cycles — Plan for Limited Reconnect Life
If the application requires more than 20 cycles, consider the gold-plated sibling SFW4S-2STMAE1LF, which carries gold on the mating face for extended cycle life.
