The Molex 5022311500 is a 15-position, 0.50 mm pitch FFC connector from the Easy-On 502231 series, designed for vertical surface-mount termination with a ZIF flip-lock actuator. The 0.4 A per-contact current rating and 50 V voltage limit place this firmly in signal-level duty — think display ribbon, sensor interconnect, or low-power data lines inside a compact enclosure. The flip-lock actuator in natural LCP housing holds the FFC securely, and the 0.30 mm FFC thickness spec matches the most common flex cable on the market.
Mating cycles and field service reality
Rated for 20 mating cycles, this connector is intended for assembly-line mate once and occasional service disconnect — not repeated field reconnection. If your application needs frequent cable swaps, look at a connector with a higher cycle rating in the same series; the 502231 family includes variants with different position counts and actuator colors, but the 20-cycle limit is consistent across the line.
