The right-angle SMT orientation keeps the mated FFC parallel to the board surface, saving z-height in tight enclosures — the 2.70 mm height above board leaves room for a low-profile cover or adjacent components. ## Pitch, Position Count, and Contact Layout — BOM Fit Check At 0.039\" (1.00 mm) pitch and 14 circuits, this connector occupies a board footprint roughly 14 mm wide. The bottom-contact configuration means the FPC's conductive pads face downward against the SMT pads — confirm your flex cable's pad orientation matches before committing the layout. Compared to the 10-position sibling SFW10R-3STE1LF, this part adds four circuits in the same 1.00 mm pitch and 2.70 mm height envelope — the only dimensional difference is the longer body. If your BOM calls for 14 positions, the 10-position part won't fit the mating cable or the board footprint. ## Active Production — Sourcing and Lifecycle Status ## Mating Cycles and Contact Finish — Field-Service Implications Rated for 20 mating cycles minimum with tin-plated contacts. Tin is adequate for low-cycle applications — a flex cable that is mated once during assembly and rarely touched again. For applications requiring frequent reconnection (test points, field-replaceable modules), a gold-plated contact variant in the SFW-R series would extend service life. The slide-lock actuator provides positive retention once the FFC is inserted — the lock prevents the cable from backing out under vibration, though the 20-cycle limit means the lock itself is not designed for repeated actuation over the product's life.","metaTitle":"SFW14R-3STE1LF Amphenol ICC FFC/FPC Connector, 14 Pos","metaDescription":"SFW14R-3STE1LF Amphenol ICC (FCI) SFW-R series FFC/FPC connector. 14 positions, 0.039\" (1.00mm) pitch, ZIF slide lock, tin contacts, 1 A, 100 V.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"SFW-R","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":"SFW-R","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Black","Mating Cycles":"20","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Actuator Color":"Black","Cable End Type":"Straight","Contact Finish":"Tin","Flat Flex Type":"FFC, FPC","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"100V","Locking Feature":"Slide Lock","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Glass Filled","Actuator Material":"Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Glass Filled","FFC, FCB Thickness":"0.30mm","Height Above Board":"0.106\\\" (2.70mm)","Base Product Number":"SFW14R","Number of Positions":"14","Current Rating (Amps)":"1A","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~105°C","Connector/Contact Type":"Contacts, Bottom","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.4400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.44000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.38300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.35000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.32940","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.31570","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.28824","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.27452","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.22648","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2000,"price":"$0.21962","currency":"USD"},{"qty":4000,"price":"$0.20589","currency":"USD"},{"qty":6000,"price":"$0.19903","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.18530","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b00b51a93b36b92643a9a3c0c71cca45.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch and position count of SFW14R-3STE1LF?","answer":"The pitch is 0.039\" (1.00 mm) with 14 positions.
