Product details

1.00 mm Pitch, 8-Position Top-Contact FFC/FPC Connector

The top-contact configuration means the FPC's conductive pads face upward when inserted, mating with the contact beam from above — a detail that matters during assembly to avoid reversed insertion.

Mating FPC and Orientation Requirements

The cable end type is straight, and the contact style is top-contact — meaning the conductor pads on the FPC must face upward when inserted into the connector. Reversing the cable will result in no connection or intermittent contact. The solder termination is a standard reflow process; the solder retention tabs provide additional mechanical anchoring, especially important when the cable is subject to flex or strain.

Frequently asked questions

How can I order the 84981-8 and check current availability?

The 84981-8 is an active part. We source it through independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at the time of your RFQ. Submit a quote request with your target quantity and we will respond with current lead time and price.

What is the pitch of the 84981-8?

The pitch is 0.039" (1.00 mm). This is the center-to-center spacing between adjacent contact positions, which determines the board footprint and the matching FPC conductor pitch.

Is the 84981-8 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 Compliant. This covers all six original restricted substances plus the four phthalates under EU Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendment 2015/863.

What FPC thickness does the 84981-8 accept?

It accepts FFC or FPC with a thickness of 0.30 mm. The cable end must be straight, and the conductor pads must face upward (top-contact style) when inserted.
