1.00 mm Pitch, 8 Positions — Contact Side Is Everything
The contact orientation is vertical, 1-sided — the FPC cable must be inserted with the contact pads facing the correct side. A flipped flex shorts the wrong row, so confirm the cable's pad orientation before assembly.
Board Fit and Height Budget
The connector stands 5.59 mm above the board surface after solder reflow. This z-height is fixed — the cable enters straight, not folded, so the clearance above the connector must accommodate the cable bend radius plus the connector height. Surface-mount termination with a beige glass-filled nylon housing. The 1.00 mm pitch is standard for FPC routing on a 2-layer board; the footprint matches the TE 84982 series layout.
