The Molex 5047546120 is a 61-position FPC connector from the Easy-On LA75 / BackFlip series, on a 0.30 mm pitch — one of the tightest pitches in the Molex FPC lineup. The right-angle SMT orientation and 0.75 mm height above board make it suited for edge-connector layouts in compact portable gear: smartphones, tablets, camera modules, and thin display assemblies. The Flip Lock / Backlock actuator secures the FPC without a secondary latch, which saves vertical clearance.
Pitch and position count — routing density
At 0.30 mm pitch, the 61 contacts fit in a body roughly 18.3 mm wide — narrow enough to route traces between BGA pads on a dense board. The single-row layout means every contact is on the outer edge, so fan-out is simpler than a staggered dual-row at the same pitch. The 0.20 mm FPC thickness is a standard value for most production FPC suppliers.
Current rating and mating cycle reality
The 3.94 µin gold flash on the contacts supports 10 mating cycles; beyond that, the gold wears through and contact resistance rises. For applications that need more than 10 insertions, consider a thicker gold option in the same series.
