Board-fit reality for a vertical 1mm-pitch FFC connector
The 1735042-8 is an 8-position, 1.00mm-pitch FFC/FPC connector with vertical SMD termination and straight cable entry — it sits flush on the board surface and the flex cable exits perpendicular, not at an angle.
Signal-level ratings that set the duty boundary
Rated 1A per contact at 125V — this is a signal interconnect, not a power bus.
