Contact side and ZIF actuation
The 0524352272 is the 22-position member of Molex's Easy-On 52435 FFC/FPC connector line, with a 0.50 mm pitch and top-contact configuration. It uses a ZIF slide lock actuator and accepts 0.30 mm thick FFC or FPC cable. The tin bismuth contact finish is rated for 20 mating cycles.
Cable thickness and orientation fit
The 0.30 mm cable thickness spec matches the actuator gap — a thicker flex prevents full insertion and risks lifting the contact beams. Top-contact orientation means the cable's conductive pads face upward when the connector is viewed from above; a flipped cable shorts the wrong row. The slide lock secures the cable without requiring insertion force on the contacts, preserving the 20-cycle durability rating across repeated reconnects.
