1.00 mm Pitch, 6-Position ZIF — Board-Edge FFC Fit
The SLW6R-1C7LF: It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) slide-lock actuator — the cable slides in freely, then the lock clamps it without stressing the contacts. Bottom-contact design mates with the conductor pads on the FPC or FFC cable. The 4.00 mm height above board keeps the connector low-profile.
20 Mating Cycles — Tin Contact Wear Ceiling
That is typical for a low-cost FFC connector — the tin wears through after repeated insertions, exposing the base metal. In a product assembled once and rarely serviced, 20 cycles is sufficient. For frequent cable swaps, a gold-plated alternative would extend reconnect life. The 1 A per-contact current rating at 100 V is a signal-level ceiling. The 0.30 mm FPC thickness is the accepted cable gauge — thicker or thinner cables may not seat properly in the ZIF mechanism.
The part is RoHS compliant.
6 vs 8 vs 16 Positions — SLW-R Sibling Fit
The SLW6R-1C7LF (6 positions) is flanked by the SLW8R-1C7LF (8 positions) and SLW16R-1C7LF (16 positions). All three are active and RoHS compliant. The choice is strictly the number of signal circuits needed — no other parametric difference.
