0.50 mm pitch, 40-position ZIF — what this FFC connector fits
The 4-1734742-0 is a 0.50 mm pitch, 40-position FFC/FPC connector from TE Connectivity's 1734742 series, designed for vertical SMT mounting with a slide-lock ZIF mechanism.
ZIF slide lock and solder retention — field-service angles
The slide-lock ZIF mechanism means the FPC inserts without force and locks with a simple slide — no tools needed for field replacement or rework. Solder retention pads on the SMT footprint add mechanical hold during reflow and resist vibration shear, a practical benefit for the board layout engineer.
Packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place, with Cut Tape (CT) available for prototype or low-volume builds.
