29-Pin FPC Connector with ZIF Slide Lock
The 2-1734248-9 is a 29-position FPC connector on a 1.00mm pitch, terminated by solder to the PCB. The housing stands 5.50 mm above the board, so budget that z-height in your enclosure.
Current and Temperature Limits for the Signal Path
The 1 A ceiling is typical for a 1.00mm-pitch FPC connector — the narrow contact beam and thin FPC traces limit current more than the contact itself. Above 85°C ambient, derate per the product drawing.
FPC Thickness and Cable End Prep
The cable end type is tapered — the stiffener on the FPC should have a tapered lead-in to ease insertion into the ZIF slot. A straight-cut FPC may catch on the contact beam.
ROHS3 compliant. No official pin-compatible alternative from TE is listed — the 29-position count and 1.00mm pitch are specific to this order code.
