Contact system & ZIF actuation
The 0512960894 is the 8-circuit member of Molex's Easy-On 51296 FFC/FPC connector line, using a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) flip-lock actuator that secures the flex without insertion force. Gold-plated phosphor bronze bottom contacts are rated 0.5 A per circuit at 50 V, with a 20-cycle mating durability that suits periodic reconnection in test or calibration ports.
Pitch & board footprint
At 0.50 mm pitch and 1.30 mm height above board, the connector accepts 0.30 mm-thick FFC or FPC with straight or tapered cable ends — the bottom-contact orientation places the flex pad against the solder tail, keeping the stack height low for tight enclosures.
