The 1-1734742-0 is a vertical SMT FFC/FPC connector from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, pitched at 0.50 mm with 10 positions. This is a signal-level interconnect for board-to-flex applications where the cable thickness is 0.30 mm.
Why the ZIF slide lock matters for assembly
The slide lock means you slide the actuator forward after inserting the cable to clamp the contacts. No insertion force on the cable — the ZIF mechanism prevents damage to the flex circuit pads during assembly. The lock also provides positive retention in moderate vibration environments, though this is not a high-vibration automotive-grade connector.
