30-Position 0.50mm Pitch FPC Receptacle — JST JMC Series
The 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch is the tightest common FPC pitch class — it drives the board footprint and limits the mating FPC to 0.30mm typical thickness for reliable contact wipe. The 2-row layout with 3.30mm height above board keeps the connector low-profile for closed enclosures.
Board Layout and Mounting
The 0.50mm pitch means the PCB footprint must match the JST-recommended land pattern exactly; a 0.05mm pad-width error shifts the impedance and risks opens on the outer contacts.
What the Suffix (N)(LF)(SN) Means
The suffix (N)(LF)(SN) on the order code indicates a lead-free (LF) and tin (SN) plating finish on the solder tails.
