The ZIF mechanism means the flexible cable slides in without bending contacts – useful when you're swapping cables on a live board and don't want to stress the pads. Tin is fine for low-cycle signal duty; the 20 mating cycles listed tell you this is a set-and-forget interconnect, not a frequent-disconnect port. The 5.30 mm height above board leaves room for routing under the cable. ## Active Production – Sourcing Posture RoHS compliant. ## Field Fit – What Crosses Into the Harness On site, you can re-pin by sliding the actuator open, inserting the FFC, and closing it. No special tool needed beyond a pair of tweezers. The 0.33 mm FFC thickness is specific – a 0.30 mm cable will also seat, but the contact beam preload is lower. Stick with the listed thickness for full wipe and retention. The housing won't soften or crack in a hot enclosure near a power supply.","metaTitle":"SFW16S-2STE1LF FFC/FPC Connector – 1 mm Pitch, 16 Pos, ZIF","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC (FCI) SFW16S-2STE1LF: 1.00 mm pitch, 16-position vertical FFC/FPC connector with ZIF actuator, tin contacts, rated 1 A, 100 V.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"SFW","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","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)","Termination":"Solder","Housing Color":"Brown","Mating Cycles":"20","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Actuator Color":"-","Cable End Type":"-","Contact Finish":"Tin","Flat Flex Type":"FFC, FPC","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"100V","Locking Feature":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Housing Material":"Thermoplastic, Glass Filled","Actuator Material":"Thermoplastic, Glass Filled","FFC, FCB Thickness":"0.33mm","Height Above Board":"0.209\\\" (5.30mm)","Base Product Number":"SFW16S","Number of Positions":"16","Current Rating (Amps)":"1A","Operating Temperature":"-55°C~105°C","Connector/Contact Type":"Contacts, Vertical - 1 Sided","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6900","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.69000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.60500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.55280","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$0.52040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.49870","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.45536","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.43370","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.35780","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2000,"price":"$0.34696","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3000,"price":"$0.32527","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.31443","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.29274","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/a74ebbe7388205c94f92f408b35d9bfb.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of SFW16S-2STE1LF?","answer":"0.039 inches (1.00 mm) pitch.
