It terminates a 0.30mm-thick flat flexible cable (FFC) via a top-contact, Low Insertion Force (LIF) mechanism — no actuator, just a straight push-in mate. Typical applications include signal routing in compact consumer electronics, sensor modules, or display interconnects where the 0.5A per-contact rating and 50V voltage ceiling suit low-power signal paths, not power delivery. The 0.5A current rating per contact is typical for signal-level FFC connectors at this pitch — the narrow 1.00mm spacing limits current more than the contact itself. The 50V voltage rating matches common low-voltage logic and sensor rails. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts are standard for cost-sensitive, moderate-cycle applications (typically 20-50 mating cycles). The housing is black polyamide (PA6T, Nylon 6T) rated UL94 V-0 for flammability.","metaTitle":"08FMN-SMT-A-TF JST FFC Connector, 8 Pos, 1mm Pitch, SMT R/A","metaDescription":"08FMN-SMT-A-TF JST FMN series FFC connector, 8 positions, 1.00mm pitch, SMT right-angle, tin contacts, 0.5A, 50V.
