It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) slide-lock actuator — the actuator opens the contact beams so the FPC slides in without force, then the slide locks the cable in place. ## 20 Mating Cycles — Tin Plating, Low-Service Duty Tin-plated contacts are cost-effective but wear faster than gold — this connector suits applications where the FPC is mated once during assembly and rarely disconnected in the field. The slide lock provides retention against vibration, but the contact interface itself is not designed for repeated reconnects. ## 0.30 mm FPC Thickness, Tapered Cable End The cable end type is specified as tapered — the FPC insertion end should be chamfered or rounded to ease entry into the ZIF mechanism.","metaTitle":"SFW12R-3STE1LF FPC Connector 12 Pos 1mm ZIF Right Angle","metaDescription":"SFW12R-3STE1LF Amphenol ICC FCI SFW-R series FPC connector, 12 positions, 1.00 mm pitch, ZIF, right-angle SMT, tin contacts, 1 A, 100 V.

The main differences are housing color (brown vs black) and cable end type (straight and tapered vs tapered only).
