The top-contact design mates with a 0.30mm-thick FPC or FFC, and the right-angle surface-mount footprint keeps the assembly low at 0.079\" (2.00mm) above the board. ## Solder retention and slide lock — assembly and field-fit details The housing is gray, the actuator is black, and the cable end type is tapered to ease insertion. The base product number is 27FLZ-SM. ## Peer comparison — 27FLZ-SM2-TB(LF)(SN) vs 27-position bottom-contact variant The closest functional second-source is the 27FLZ-SM2-TB(LF)(SN), which shares the same 27 positions, 0.50mm pitch, ZIF slide lock, and tin plating, but is RoHS compliant. The only other 27-position FLZ variant is the 27FLZ-RSM2-TB(LF)(SN), which uses bottom contacts instead of top contacts — check your FPC's pad orientation before substituting. For a lower position count, the 24FLZ-SM2-TB offers the same pitch, height, and features with 24 positions — useful if your BOM has a 24-circuit FPC and you want to stay in the same series.","metaTitle":"27FLZ-SM2-TB JST FFC/FPC Connector, 27 Pos, 0.5mm, ZIF","metaDescription":"27FLZ-SM2-TB JST FLZ series FFC/FPC connector, 27 positions, 0.020\" (0.50mm) pitch, ZIF slide lock, top contact, surface mount right-angle, tin plating, UL94","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"FLZ","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS non-compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["FFC / FPC & Ribbon Connectors","FFC / FPC Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"JST Sales America Inc.","Pitch":"0.020\\\" (0.50mm)","Series":"FLZ","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Gray","Mating Cycles":"-","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Actuator Color":"Black","Cable End Type":"Tapered","Contact Finish":"Tin","Flat Flex Type":"FFC, FPC","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"50V","Locking Feature":"Slide Lock","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Polyamide (PA6T), Nylon 6T","Actuator Material":"Polyamide (PA6T), Nylon 6T","FFC, FCB Thickness":"0.30mm","Height Above Board":"0.079\\\" (2.00mm)","Base Product Number":"27FLZ-SM","Number of Positions":"27","Current Rating (Amps)":"0.5A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C ~ 85°C","Connector/Contact Type":"Contacts, Top","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.66000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.44500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.38360","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$1.35280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.29120","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.16828","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.07604","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.92232","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2800,"price":"$0.86083","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5600,"price":"$0.81779","currency":"USD"},{"qty":8400,"price":"$0.79934","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/4608c62f414b97d722aeba9ddb3f3adb.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the 27FLZ-SM2-TB RoHS compliant?","answer":"No, the 27FLZ-SM2-TB is marked RoHS non-compliant.
