The SLW12S-1C7LF is a 12-position vertical FFC/FPC connector on 1.00 mm pitch, mounting through-hole with kinked pins. The height above board is 5.50 mm — check this z-height against nearby components before layout. The slide lock actuates the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) mechanism: the FPC slides in freely, then the lock clamps the contacts. This avoids pad scoring during insertion, which matters when the connector sees occasional reconnects in field service. The 20 mating cycles rating reflects the tin contact finish — for higher cycle counts, a gold-plated sibling would be needed.
The SLW-S series shares the same 1.00 mm pitch, 5.50 mm height, ZIF slide lock, tin contacts, and 1 A rating across position counts. The SLW12S-1C7LF sits at 12 positions. Direct siblings include the 10-position SLW10S-1C7LF, the 14-position SLW14S-1C7LF, and the 15-position SLW15S-1C7LF — all active and identical in every other spec.
