7-position FPC connector with ZIF slide lock
The 84953-7 is a 7-position FPC connector from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, part of the 84953 series. The contact style is top-contact, so the FPC pads face upward when the cable is inserted.
Board fit and routing details
The right-angle SMT orientation places the connector body at the board edge, with the FPC running flat against the PCB. The housing is natural LCP glass-filled (UL94 V-0), and the actuator is black glass-filled nylon. The FPC thickness it accepts is 0.30 mm — a common thickness for standard flexible printed circuits. The cable end must be straight (not angled) to engage the ZIF mechanism properly.
The part is ROHS3 compliant.
