The pitch matches standard 1.00 mm FFC cable — the board footprint is fixed by that spacing, so the PCB layout needs to align with the 18 contact pads at 1.00 mm centers. Zero insertion force (ZIF) with a flip-lock actuator: the cable slides in without force, then the black polyamide (PA9T) actuator locks it. The flip lock holds the cable under the gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts — no secondary latch needed. This is a bottom-contact style, meaning the contact beams touch the cable pads from below. The 30 mating cycles limit means this connector is designed for one-time or occasional disconnect in assembly or field service, not daily reconnection. ## Right-Angle SMT with Solder Retention RoHS compliant. No official pin-compatible substitute or cross-reference is listed in the Aorora F51L series. The base product number F51L-1A7H1 covers the family; the -11018 suffix defines the 18-position variant with the specific actuator color and plating.","metaTitle":"F51L-1A7H1-11018 Amphenol ICC FFC/FPC Connector 1.00mm","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC (FCI) Aorora F51L FFC/FPC connector, 18 positions, 1.00mm pitch, ZIF flip lock, gold contacts, 0.5A, 30 cycles.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Aorora F51L","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["FFC / FPC & Ribbon Connectors","FFC / FPC Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol ICC (FCI)","Pitch":"0.039\\\" (1.00mm)","Series":"Aorora F51L","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Natural","Mating Cycles":"30","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Actuator Color":"Black","Cable End Type":"Straight, Tapered","Contact Finish":"Gold","Flat Flex Type":"FFC, FPC","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"50V","Locking Feature":"Flip Lock","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)","Actuator Material":"Polyamide (PA9T), Nylon 9T, Halogen Free","FFC, FCB Thickness":"0.30mm, 0.33mm","Height Above Board":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Base Product Number":"F51L-1A7H1","Number of Positions":"18","Current Rating (Amps)":"0.5A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~105°C","Connector/Contact Type":"Contacts, Bottom","Contact Finish Thickness":"1.97µin (0.050µm)","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6200","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.62000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.53900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.49240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.46340","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.44420","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.40552","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.38622","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1700,"price":"$0.30898","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3400,"price":"$0.28967","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5100,"price":"$0.28001","currency":"USD"},{"qty":8500,"price":"$0.26070","currency":"USD"},{"qty":17000,"price":"$0.25684","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b773538b9780e56e04fef1fcc5312e91.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy F51L-1A7H1-11018?","answer":"Submit a request with your BOM quantity and target lead time."},{"question":"Is F51L-1A7H1-11018 a ZIF connector?","answer":"Yes — it is a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector with a flip-lock actuator.
