Vertical FFC footprint for 1.00 mm pitch signal routing
The vertical orientation — contacts on one side, cable inserted straight — suits applications where the FFC enters perpendicular to the PCB, keeping the cable path clear of adjacent components.
Low Insertion Force and housing details
The Low Insertion Force (LIF) feature means the FFC slides in without a locking actuator, reducing wear on the cable pads during repeated mating cycles. The housing is molded from UL94 V-0 rated PA6T nylon, black, and accepts FFC thickness of 0.30 mm. Compared to the right-angle sibling 08FMN-SMT-A-TF (3.00 mm height above board), this vertical version stands 5.10 mm above the PCB — a taller profile that may conflict with low-profile enclosures but simplifies cable routing in open-board layouts.
