Solder retention tails on the SMT feet add peel resistance after reflow, which matters when the FPC is dressed tight against the board edge. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts (78.7 µinch tin over 2.00 µm nickel) are rated for 1 A per circuit at 200 V. The housing is natural LCP (liquid crystal polymer, glass-filled, UL94 V-0), with a black nylon actuator. The 0.30 mm FPC thickness specification means the connector accepts standard 0.30 mm flex circuits — not the thinner 0.20 mm or thicker 0.50 mm variants without fit issues. ## Board-fit checklist: footprint, stack height, and routing The 1.00 mm pitch drives the PCB land pattern — each contact pad is spaced 1.00 mm centre-to-centre. The 9-position count fits a narrow footprint, leaving room for trace fan-out on a two-layer board. The slide lock actuator sits on the top side, so the keep-out zone above the connector must be clear for the lock to travel. Solder termination (SMT) means the connector is reflow-soldered alongside other surface-mount components. The solder retention features provide additional mechanical bond to the board pads, reducing the risk of lifted pads during FPC insertion or cable strain.","metaTitle":"84953-9 TE Connectivity FPC Connector, 9 Pos, 1mm Pitch, ZIF","metaDescription":"84953-9 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors FPC connector, 9 positions, 1.00mm pitch, right-angle SMT, ZIF with solder retention, tin contacts, 1A, 200V, -40 to","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["FFC / FPC & Ribbon Connectors","FFC / FPC Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Pitch":"0.039\\\" (1.00mm)","Series":"-","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Natural","Mating Cycles":"-","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Actuator Color":"Black","Cable End Type":"Straight","Contact Finish":"Tin","Flat Flex Type":"FPC","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"200V","Locking Feature":"Slide Lock","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled","Actuator Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled","FFC, FCB Thickness":"0.30mm","Height Above Board":"0.101\\\" (2.56mm)","Base Product Number":"84953","Number of Positions":"9","Current Rating (Amps)":"1A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C","Connector/Contact Type":"Contacts, Top","Contact Finish Thickness":"78.7µin (2.00µm)","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6218","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.01000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1,"price":"$1.23000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.03600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.96000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.99400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.91800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.97280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.90520","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.79100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.93060","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.84596","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.76136","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/aa5833f0a61e18b9ffd2644637dbf769.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 84953-9 TE Connectivity connector?","answer":"The 84953-9 is available through independent distribution.
