Where this 0.30 mm pitch FPC connector fits
The 5047542120 is a 21-position, 0.30 mm pitch FPC connector from Molex's BackFlip / Easy-On LA75 series. The right-angle SMT orientation keeps the mated assembly low — 0.75 mm above the board — which matters when stacking boards in a tight z-height budget. Gold-plated contacts (3.94 µin) on both top and bottom sides of the FPC handle repeated mating cycles — the connector is rated for 10 cycles, typical for a ZIF-style FPC connector used in assembly rather than field-service disconnect. The 0.2 A per-contact current rating and 50 V voltage ceiling confirm this is a signal-only interconnect.
Mating and FPC preparation
This connector accepts a tapered-end FPC, 0.20 mm thick. The flip-lock backlock actuator opens fully, the FPC inserts with the contact pads facing either top or bottom (the connector contacts both sides), then the actuator locks down.
