40-position ZIF at 0.50 mm pitch
The 0525594072 is the 40-circuit member of Molex's Easy-On 52559 FFC/FPC connector line, accepting 0.30 mm thick flat flex cable with a straight or tapered cable end. Zero insertion force (ZIF) actuation with a slide lock secures the cable; the vertical orientation and surface-mount solder termination place the mated height at 0.154" (3.90 mm) above the board.
Cable fit and contact arrangement
The contacts are arranged on one side for vertical cable entry — the single-sided contact pattern mates with the exposed pads on one face of the FFC, so the cable orientation must match the contact side during assembly. Rated 0.5 A per contact at 50 V with a tin bismuth finish over phosphor bronze; the 20 mating cycles suit low-insertion-duty applications where the cable is installed once and rarely re-terminated.
Sourcing and compliance
