15-Position FPC Connector with ZIF Slide Lock
The 1-84952-5 is a 15-position FPC connector on a 1.00mm pitch, terminated by soldering to the board in a right-angle orientation. The ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) mechanism with a slide lock means the FPC slides in without bending contacts, and the lock holds it in place against vibration — a common failure point on cheaper non-locking FPC sockets. Rated at 1A per contact and 200V, this is a signal-level interconnect — fine for display ribbon, touch-panel, or sensor module connections inside a consumer or industrial control panel. LCP handles the reflow temperatures of lead-free soldering without warping.
Board Fit and Routing
The 0.30mm FPC thickness is the standard for most flat flex cables — no need for a custom-thickness ribbon.
