It accepts a 0.33mm-thick FPC and uses a ZIF slide-lock actuator — the slide pushes the contacts onto the flex pads without insertion force, then locks to hold the cable against vibration. Rated 0.5A per contact at 50V, with tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The tin finish keeps cost down but limits mating cycles to 20 — fine for a one-time assembly or infrequent rework, not for repeated field reconnections. The housing is black LCP, glass-filled and halogen-free, rated UL94 V-0. RoHS compliant. ## Position Count Comparison: 16, 20, and 24 Positions The SFV-R series offers the same 0.50mm pitch and 1.80mm stack height across 16, 20, and 24 positions. The SFV16R-4STE1HLF carries 16 circuits; the SFV24R-4STE1HLF carries 24. For a board that already routes 20 traces, the SFV20R-4STE1HLF is the direct fit. Dropping to 16 positions saves board edge space; moving to 24 requires a wider flex and more PCB real estate. ## Right-Angle SMT Mounting and Board Layout This suits tight enclosures where a vertical connector would interfere with a cover or adjacent module. The slide-lock actuator sits on the top side, so the actuator clearance above the connector is minimal — no extra keep-out needed for a flip-lock hinge.","metaTitle":"SFV20R-4STE1HLF FPC Connector – 0.50mm Pitch, 20 Pos, ZIF","metaDescription":"SFV20R-4STE1HLF Amphenol ICC (FCI) SFV-R series FPC connector: 0.50mm pitch, 20 positions, ZIF slide lock, tin contacts, 0.5A, 50V.
