Board-fit and routing for a 4-circuit ZIF
The 5051100497: This is a 4-position, 0.50 mm pitch FFC/FPC connector from the Molex Easy-On FD19 505110 series. The contacts are on the bottom side of the connector body, and the flip-lock actuator secures the cable without insertion force. The gold contact finish (2.00 µinch over copper alloy) supports up to 20 mating cycles, adequate for field-service cable swaps or production test points.
Mating cable and termination checklist
This connector accepts FFC or FPC cable with a straight cable end type. The bottom-contact configuration means the cable's conductive traces must face downward when inserted into the connector body. The flip lock clamps the cable after insertion — no secondary latch required. Termination is solder-only — the connector is surface-mount and supplied on tape-and-reel (cut tape available). The 0.50 mm pitch demands precise solder-paste stencil alignment; the board footprint should match the Molex recommended land pattern for the FD19 series.
