8 Positions, 1.00 mm Pitch – Board Fit Check
This avoids pad damage during assembly, especially with thin 0.30 mm FFC. The kinked pin geometry improves solder joint retention during reflow compared to a straight solder tail.
Tin Contacts, 20 Mating Cycles – Field Service Reality
For higher cycle counts, the gold-plated variant SFW8S-2STAE1LF is the better pick. The 1 A per-contact rating at 100 V is typical for signal-level FFC interconnects in consumer and industrial control boards.
Sourced through independent distribution channels. No stock-holding claim; availability per RFQ. The base product number SFW8S covers the 8-position family; the suffix 2STME1LF specifies tin contacts, kinked pin termination, and tape-and-reel packaging.
Peer Comparison – SFW8S-2STE1LF vs SFW8S-2STAE1LF
The closest functional equivalent is the SFW8S-2STE1LF – same 8 positions, 1.00 mm pitch, tin contacts, kinked pin termination, and ZIF actuation. The difference is packaging: the -2STE1LF adds Digi-Reel® availability alongside tape and reel and cut tape. For applications needing higher mating cycle life, the SFW8S-2STAE1LF swaps tin for gold contacts and accepts 0.33 mm FFC thickness. The gold plating extends reconnect duty beyond the 20-cycle tin baseline, at a higher per-unit cost.
