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
