The 5017863092: This is a 30-position, 0.50 mm pitch FFC vertical connector from the Molex Easy-On 501786 series. The vertical orientation means the FFC enters perpendicular to the PCB, useful when the cable path runs straight off the board edge. The slide lock secures the FFC without requiring a secondary latch actuator.
20 mating cycles — low reconnect duty
Rated for 20 mating cycles. That is a low count — this connector suits a one-time assembly or infrequent field service, not a daily disconnect port. If your application needs repeated cable swaps, look at a sibling with a higher cycle rating or a ZIF actuator.
These help keep the connector aligned during reflow and resist the shear force from FFC insertion after soldering — a practical help for the board assembler hitting first-pass yield targets.
