0.5 mm Pitch, 7 Circuits, ZIF Actuation
The 52745-0733 is a 0.5 mm pitch FPC ZIF connector from Molex, with 7 circuits in a single row, terminated by SMT assembly. For a 7-circuit cable, the mating interface is 3.5 mm wide, which keeps the connector compact for space-constrained layouts.
Note the RoHS non-compliant designation.
Bulk Packaging, SMT Termination
Supplied in Bulk packaging — tubes or trays, not tape-and-reel. For high-volume pick-and-place lines, this may require a tube feeder or manual loading, which affects throughput. For prototype or low-volume builds, bulk is straightforward. SMT termination means the connector reflows with the board. The ZIF actuator must remain open during reflow to prevent solder wicking into the contact area; verify the recommended solder profile in the product drawing.
