5-Position 1.00 mm ZIF — Board Fit and Current Budget
The SFW5R-1STE1LF is a 5-position, 1.00 mm pitch ZIF connector from the SFW-R series, with bottom contacts and a right-angle SMT orientation. The slide lock actuator secures the FFC without requiring insertion force on the contacts — the ZIF mechanism wipes the pad on closure, not during cable insertion.
20 Mating Cycles — Tin Plating Limits Reconnect Duty
The contact finish is the limiting factor for reconnect duty, not the housing.
FFC Thickness and Cable End Type
The bottom-contact configuration means the cable's conductive pads face downward toward the PCB — confirm the cable end orientation before assembly.

SFW5R-1STE1LF vs SFW5R-3STE1LF — Housing Color and Cable End
The closest peer is the SFW5R-3STE1LF: same 5-position, 1.00 mm pitch, ZIF, bottom-contact, and 1 A rating. The difference is the housing and actuator color (brown vs black) and the cable end type — the -1STE1LF requires a notched cable end, while the -3STE1LF accepts straight or tapered ends. If your cable assembly uses a straight end, the -3STE1LF is the direct swap.
