Pitch, Contact Side, and Cable Fit
The 1-84981-6: This is a top-contact connector: the exposed copper pads on the FPC must face upward when inserted. A flipped cable shorts the wrong row.
Current, Voltage, and Signal Duty
The narrow pitch and tin plating limit the current ceiling. Tin contact finish on phosphor bronze base: suitable for moderate mating cycles in clean, indoor environments. For repeated field-service mating, a gold-plated variant would extend cycle life.
Mated height above board is 3.00 mm.
