Board-fit and pitch match
The 1-84984-2: This is a 12-position, 1.00 mm pitch FFC/FPC connector from TE Connectivity's 84984 base series, designed for vertical through-hole mounting. The 0.039" (1.00mm) pitch is the critical dimension for FFC cable compatibility — your cable must match this pitch exactly. The connector accepts 0.30 mm thick FFC, with contacts on one side only (vertical, 1-sided). The kinked pin termination aids PCB retention during soldering.
