It accepts FFC or FPC cables 0.30mm or 0.33mm thick, straight or tapered ends — the dual-thickness range covers standard flex circuits and flat cables used in consumer and industrial displays, touch panels, and control interfaces. The 80.0µin (2.03µm) tin finish on phosphor bronze contacts provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor, non-aggressive environments; the 30 mating cycles limit it to one-time assembly or occasional rework, not daily disconnect. The slide lock actuator secures the FFC/FPC without a secondary latch — push the black actuator forward to clamp the cable, pull back to release. Solder retention features on the surface-mount tails add shear strength against cable strain, reducing the risk of lifted pads during handling or vibration. Within the Aorora F52L series, the F52L-1A7A1-11018 (18 positions) sits between the 16-position F52L-1A7A1-11016 and the 20-position F52L-1A7A1-11020. If your BOM calls for 16 or 20 circuits, the same footprint and mating half apply. ## Mounting and Termination — Surface-Mount Placement Checklist The 0.198\" (5.04mm) height above board is a moderate profile, suitable for tight enclosures where a low z-height is needed but not ultra-low. The LCP housing maintains dimensional stability across this range, keeping the contact alignment within tolerance.","metaTitle":"F52L-1A7A1-11018 FFC/FPC Connector, 1.00mm Pitch, 18 Pos","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC (FCI) Aorora F52L FFC/FPC connector, 0.039\" (1.00mm) pitch, 18 positions, 0.5A, 50V, tin plating, slide lock, solder retention, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Aorora F52L","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 F52L","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Natural","Mating Cycles":"30","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Actuator Color":"Black","Cable End Type":"Straight, 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":"Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled","Actuator Material":"-","FFC, FCB Thickness":"0.30mm, 0.33mm","Height Above Board":"0.198\\\" (5.04mm)","Base Product Number":"F52L-1A7A1","Number of Positions":"18","Current Rating (Amps)":"0.5A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~105°C","Connector/Contact Type":"Contacts, Vertical - 1 Sided","Contact Finish Thickness":"80.0µin (2.03µm)","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.5600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.56000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.48400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.44240","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.41640","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.39910","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.36440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.34704","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.28630","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2000,"price":"$0.27763","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3000,"price":"$0.26028","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.25160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.23425","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/89844552d72a73aaa9620abd9396c525.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the equivalent or cross reference for F52L-1A7A1-11018?","answer":"Within the same Aorora F52L series, the F52L-1A7A1-11016 (16 positions) and F52L-1A7A1-11020 (20 positions) share the same pitch, height, current rating, plating, and locking mechanism.
