The 3-1734592-5 is a 35-position FPC connector from TE Connectivity, pitched at 0.50 mm — a standard for high-density signal interconnect in compact electronics like smartphones, cameras, and displays. Zero insertion force (ZIF) with a slide lock: the FPC slides in freely, then the lock clamps the contacts, holding the cable against vibration and accidental pull-out. Gold flash on the phosphor bronze contacts gives corrosion resistance on the mating face — important for devices that see multiple assembly cycles or field service. Right-angle SMT mounting keeps the connector low-profile at 2.05 mm above the board, suiting space-constrained enclosures.
Surface-mount, right-angle orientation: the connector sits perpendicular to the PCB, accepting the FPC from the board edge. Bottom-contact style: the contact pads on the FPC face downward, mating with the connector's lower beam.
