The 1-84953-1 is an 11-position FPC connector on 1.00 mm pitch from TE Connectivity AMP. It uses a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) slide-lock actuator that clamps the FPC after insertion — no insertion force on the flex circuit pads, which matters when the cable is cycled repeatedly in a test or calibration fixture.
FPC Thickness and Contact Interface
The contact style is top-contact — the FPC conductor pads face upward against the contact beam. The slide-lock actuator is black glass-filled nylon; the natural LCP housing provides visual contrast for automated inspection. Straight cable entry means the FPC inserts without a bend, simplifying assembly in tight enclosures.
