14-Position FPC Connector for Space-Constrained SMT Designs
The 1-84952-4 is a 14-position FPC connector from TE Connectivity's 84952 series, built on a 1.00 mm pitch with a right-angle SMT footprint. The ZIF actuator with slide lock accepts 0.30 mm-thick FPC and holds the cable without insertion force — the contact beams wipe the pads on closure, and the lock prevents back-out under vibration. Bottom-contact orientation means the FPC conductor side faces the PCB — a common mis-seat point during assembly.
The LCP housing withstands 260°C peak reflow without distortion. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated pick-and-place for high-volume assembly.
No official pin-compatible substitute is listed from TE Connectivity. The base product number 84952 groups other position counts in the same series — a board layout change would be needed to use a different variant.
