The 5051102696 is a 26-position, 0.50mm-pitch FFC/FPC connector from Molex's Easy-On FD19 series, designed for right-angle surface-mount termination with a ZIF flip-lock actuator. The 0.50mm pitch drives the PCB footprint — the contact pads must match that centerline spacing, and the 1.90mm height above board sets the clearance under the mated cable. Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts (1.97µin gold) handle 0.5A per contact, and the 25 mating cycles are typical for a ZIF connector in a signal path — not a high-cycle power interconnect.
ZIF flip-lock and solder retention — assembly and reliability
The flip-lock actuator (black polyamide) secures the FFC without insertion force — the contact beams wipe the pads as the lock closes, then hold the cable in place.
