Board Layout and FPC Fit
The SLW26S-1C7LF: The vertical through-hole orientation places the connector standing off the board at a 5.50 mm height above the PCB, which suits low-profile mezzanine or edge-card routing where the FPC enters perpendicular to the board. The ZIF actuator with slide lock secures the FPC without insertion force — the 0.33 mm FPC thickness is specified, so confirm your flex cable matches that dimension before assembly. The kinked pin termination provides solder retention during wave soldering.
Current and Contact Duty
For applications requiring frequent reconnections, a gold-plated sibling in the SLW-S series would extend cycle life.
The SLW-S series offers position counts from 20 to 28 in the same vertical through-hole, ZIF, 1.00 mm pitch format. This lets you standardise on one connector family across multiple FPC widths, reducing SKU count.
