Product details

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.

Frequently asked questions

What FFC/FPC thickness and type does 12FLZ-SM2-TB(LF)(SN) accept?

It accepts 0.30 mm thick FFC or FPC with a tapered cable end. The contacts are on the top side, so the cable's conductive pads must face upward during insertion.

How does the locking mechanism work on the JST 12FLZ-SM2-TB(LF)(SN)?

It uses a slide-lock actuator. After the FPC is inserted with zero force, the black actuator slides over to clamp the contacts. No secondary latch or tool is required.
