22-position, 0.50mm-pitch ZIF for tight board layouts
The Molex 5051102296 is a 22-position FFC/FPC connector from the Easy-On FD19 505110 series, built for dense signal routing on a 0.50mm pitch. Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) actuation with a flip-lock — no insertion force on the contacts during cable insertion, which protects thin 0.30mm FFC tabs from damage.
Rated 0.5 A per contact at 50V, with gold plating at 1.97 µin on phosphor bronze contacts. The gold thickness supports up to 25 mating cycles, typical for internal signal runs where the cable is set once and rarely re-terminated. The bottom-contact design places the contact beam on the PCB side, which keeps the signal path short and reduces inductance compared to a top-contact layout at the same pitch.
