46-position FPC interconnect with ZIF slide lock
The 4-1734839-6 is a 46-position FPC connector on 0.50 mm pitch, terminated by right-angle SMT solder. The ZIF (zero insertion force) mechanism with a slide lock secures the FPC without stressing the pads — the actuator slides closed after the cable is inserted, holding the contacts against the FPC traces. Gold flash on phosphor bronze contacts gives corrosion resistance for moderate mating cycles — suitable for field-serviceable assemblies where the cable is swapped occasionally, not for high-cycle reconnect duty.

FPC compatibility and board fit
Accepts 0.30 mm thick FPC with tapered cable end. The contacts are top-side, meaning the FPC conductive traces face upward when the connector is mounted on the board. Height above board is 2.05 mm — a low-profile choice for compact assemblies. The slide lock provides positive retention without a secondary latch — the actuator stays closed under vibration typical of portable equipment.
