6-position 0.50 mm pitch vertical SMD — signal-duty FPC interconnect
The 1734742-6: This is a 6-circuit, 0.50 mm pitch vertical FFC/FPC connector from TE Connectivity's AMP line, terminated by reflow solder to the board surface.
ZIF slide lock and 0.30 mm FPC thickness — no-force mate, vibration hold
The zero insertion force (ZIF) actuator is a slide lock, not a front-flip. The connector accepts only 0.30 mm thick FPC. Thicker cable won't seat fully; thinner cable may not be gripped by the slide lock under vibration.
Active production — no end-of-life pressure
The 1734742-6 is listed as Active and RoHS Compliant. No successor or cross-reference is recorded — this is the current production part for the 6-position, 0.50 mm pitch vertical SMD footprint.
