Reversing the cable will result in no connection or intermittent contact. The solder termination is a standard reflow process; the solder retention tabs provide additional mechanical anchoring, especially important when the cable is subject to flex or strain.","metaTitle":"84981-8 TE Connectivity FFC/FPC Connector, 8 Pos","metaDescription":"84981-8 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors FFC/FPC, 8 positions, 1.00mm pitch, top contact, tin plating, 1A, 125V, -20°C~85°C, ROHS3.

Submit a quote request with your target quantity and we will respond with current lead time and price."},{"question":"What is the pitch of the 84981-8?","answer":"The pitch is 0.039\" (1.00 mm). This is the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contact positions, which determines the board footprint and the matching FPC conductor pitch."},{"question":"Is the 84981-8 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, it is ROHS3 Compliant. This covers all six original restricted substances plus the four phthalates under EU Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendment 2015/863."},{"question":"What FPC thickness does the 84981-8 accept?","answer":"It accepts FFC or FPC with a thickness of 0.30 mm.
