The 2.70 mm height above board is a standard profile for this pitch class. ## Tin Contacts and 20 Mating Cycles — Reconnect Duty In a product that sees quarterly reconnects, the cycle budget covers five years; beyond that, the tin surface may fret and increase contact resistance. The ZIF mechanism eliminates insertion force on the FPC pads — the slide lock clamps the cable after insertion, which reduces wear on the flexible circuit compared to non-ZIF designs. ## Active Lifecycle — Sourcing Posture ## Peer Comparison — Tin vs Gold Contacts The closest sibling is SFW4R-1STE1LF — identical pitch, positions, height, and tin plating, but with a black housing instead of brown. The only functional difference is cosmetic; both are active and interchangeable in the same footprint. For higher mating cycle life, the SFW4R-1STAE1LF swaps tin for gold contacts — same 1.00 mm pitch and 4 positions, but the gold interface supports more than 20 cycles in corrosive environments. The trade-off is a higher unit cost.","metaTitle":"SFW4R-1STE9LF Amphenol ICC (FCI) FFC/FPC Connector, 4 Pos","metaDescription":"SFW4R-1STE9LF — 4-position, 1.00mm pitch FFC/FPC connector, ZIF slide lock, tin contacts, 1A, 100V.
