17-Position FFC Connector with ZIF Actuation
The 487576-9 is a 17-position FFC connector from the TE AMPMODU series, using a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and a vertical through-hole mounting orientation. The connector accepts FFC cables with a thickness range of 0.10 mm to 0.31 mm, which covers the common 0.30 mm FPC stiffener and thinner flex circuits. The contact type is vertical, 1-sided — the cable contacts only on one side, so the FFC must be oriented correctly during insertion.
What FFC Thickness and Orientation Fit This Connector?
The 487576-9 accepts FFC cables between 0.10 mm and 0.31 mm thick. The contact type is vertical, 1-sided, meaning the FFC's conductive pads must face the contact beam side during insertion. The cable end type is straight — no right-angle bend at the termination point. The through-hole mounting and 0.310" (7.87 mm) height above board give a stable mechanical anchor.
