The vertical orientation (contacts vertical, 1-sided) means the FFC inserts straight into the top of the connector, perpendicular to the PCB. The 5.10 mm height above board is the z-height budget the enclosure needs to clear. ## Current and Voltage — Signal-Duty Ceiling The 0.5 A ceiling is typical for 1.00 mm pitch FFC connectors; the contact cross-section and pitch together limit current density. Tin contact finish on phosphor bronze base metal keeps cost down for moderate reconnect duty. ## Mounting and Termination — SMD Reflow Fit Surface-mount solder termination — the connector is placed on the PCB and reflow-soldered. The tape-and-reel packaging (available in TR or cut tape) feeds into pick-and-place assembly. The housing is black polyamide (PA6T / Nylon 6T) rated UL94 V-0 — the flame rating covers equipment inside an enclosure where flammability is a safety requirement. ## Lifecycle and Sourcing — Active, No Successor RoHS compliant per the (LF) designation. ## Peer Comparison — Vertical vs Right-Angle The 08FMN-SMT-A-TF (and its lead-free sibling 08FMN-SMT-A-TF(LF)(SN)) are the right-angle version of the same 8-position, 1.00 mm pitch FMN series. The key difference: the right-angle variant stands 3.00 mm above the board vs 5.10 mm for the vertical.","metaTitle":"JST 08FMN-BMT-A-TF(LF)(SN) FFC Connector — 1.00 mm Pitch","metaDescription":"JST FMN series FFC connector, 8 positions, 1.00 mm pitch, vertical SMD, tin contacts, 0.5 A, 50 V.
