It is a bottom-contact connector — the FPC pads must face down when inserted. A flipped flex shorts the wrong row, so verify the cable end orientation against the actuator before assembly. ## ZIF slide lock and cable thickness match Zero insertion force (ZIF) with a slide lock: the actuator opens fully to accept the FPC without scraping the pads, then slides closed to clamp the cable. A thicker or thinner flex will not seat properly or may damage the contact beams. The cable end type is tapered — a straight-cut flex may not insert fully. ## Gold contacts and 20-cycle mating life For higher cycle counts, consider a connector with thicker gold or a higher cycle rating. The 100 V voltage rating and 1 A current rating are per-contact maximums; derate for elevated ambient temperature per the product drawing. ## Right-angle SMT footprint and stack height The 2.70 mm height above board sets the z-height budget; confirm that the mating FPC bend radius clears nearby components. The solder pads are bottom-contact only; no through-hole anchors.","metaTitle":"SFW18R-1STAE1LF Amphenol ICC FPC Connector, 1mm Pitch","metaDescription":"SFW18R-1STAE1LF FPC connector, 1.00 mm pitch, 18 positions, bottom contact, ZIF slide lock, gold plating, 1 A, 100 V.
