Locking and Assembly Sequence
The 12FLZ-SM2-TB(LF)(SN): The slide-lock actuator provides zero insertion force (ZIF) operation: the FPC slides in freely, then the lock slides over to clamp the contacts. No secondary latch is needed — the slide lock holds the cable in place against vibration and handling.
The top-contact design means the cable's conductive pads face upward when inserted, mating with the contacts above the cable. Termination is solder-only — no press-fit or IDC option. The tape-and-reel packaging (cut tape available) feeds standard pick-and-place lines for volume assembly.
