The SLW16S-1C7LF: RoHS compliant per the current declaration. No exemption expiry noted.
Board Fit and Cable Match
1.00 mm pitch, 16 positions — the footprint matches a standard 1 mm FFC with 0.33 mm thickness. The vertical orientation keeps the cable standing off the board at 5.50 mm height above the PCB. Through-hole kinked pins anchor the connector during wave solder — no SMT reflow alignment issue, but the hole pattern must be in the board layout.
ZIF Actuation and Contact Life
Zero insertion force with a slide lock — the actuator slides to clamp the FFC without bending the flex or stressing the pads. The slide lock holds the cable in place under vibration. 20 mating cycles rated — tin-plated contacts on phosphor bronze. For a one-time build or infrequent field swap, this is adequate; for daily reconnects, a gold-plated alternative would be needed.
Position Count Choices in the SLW-S Series
The SLW-S series offers the same 1.00 mm pitch and 5.50 mm board height across 14, 15, 16, and 18 positions. The SLW16S-1C7LF sits at 16 positions — a common count for 16-bit data buses or 16-wire sensor harnesses. If the BOM calls for 15 or 18 positions, the SLW15S-1C7LF and SLW18S-1C7LF are drop-in replacements for the same footprint width — only the number of contacts changes.
