8-Position Vertical FFC/FPC Connector – 1mm Pitch, Through-Hole
The 84984-8 is an 8-position vertical FFC/FPC connector on 1.00mm pitch, designed for through-hole soldering. The straight cable entry and single-sided contact arrangement simplify board layout for low-profile cable routing. Accepts 0.30mm thick FFC or FPC cable. The housing is glass-filled PBT (UL94 V-0 rated), white in color, and stands 5.59mm above the board.
No official pin-compatible replacement or successor listed by TE Connectivity. The base product number is 84984; verify the mating half and cable thickness before committing.
Board Fit and Assembly Notes
The vertical orientation places the cable axis perpendicular to the board — useful for tight z-height enclosures where right-angle connectors won't fit. The 1.00mm pitch is common for FFC/FPC ribbon cables; the 8-position count matches many sensor and display interfaces. Confirm the cable end type (straight) aligns with your harness routing.
