Product details

0.50 mm pitch, 16 positions — the FPC fit check

The 16FLZ-SM2-TB: It accepts a 0.30mm-thick FFC, and the contact style is top-contact, meaning the cable's conductive pads face upward when inserted into the connector body. The slide lock actuator (not a flip-lock) provides positive retention — it slides across the cable to clamp it, which holds better under vibration than a simple flip-latch.

The 0.50mm pitch limits current per circuit more than the contact itself.

SMT right-angle — board-edge routing

This keeps the FPC flat against the board surface.

Active production — no end-of-life concern

Note: this part is listed as RoHS non-compliant — confirm your regulatory requirements for a BOM line.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 16FLZ-SM2-TB have a slide lock actuator?

Yes, the locking feature is a slide lock — it slides across the FPC to clamp it, providing positive retention without a secondary latch.

Is the 16FLZ-SM2-TB suitable for my FPC cable with 0.5mm pitch?

Yes, the pitch is 0.020" (0.50mm) and the connector accepts 0.30mm-thick FFC. Confirm your cable's position count (16) and that the contact style is top-contact (conductive pads face up).
