Board footprint and cable fit
The 2-84982-3: The 1.00mm pitch sets the FPC pad spacing on the PCB — the 23-position count is specific, so verify the BOM position count matches before layout. Accepts 0.30mm-thick FFC or FPC with a straight cable entry; the vertical orientation keeps the cable perpendicular to the board, which helps in tight z-height enclosures.
Current and temperature limits
Rated 1A per contact at 125V — the current ceiling is typical for 1.00mm pitch connectors and is limited by the FPC trace cross-section, not the contact beam. Operating range -20°C to 85°C suits indoor equipment and consumer electronics; the glass-filled nylon housing holds up through reflow but the tin contact finish means limited mating cycles — budget for single-mate or low-cycle applications.
