Overview

The SFW20S-2STAE1LF is a 20-position FPC connector featuring a 1.0mm pitch and a vertical (straight) orientation. This Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connector is designed for surface mount applications and provides a secure, one-sided contact interface for flexible printed circuits. It is rated for 100V and 1A, with a robust operating temperature range of -55C to 105C.

Why Choose This Part

The ZIF mechanism minimizes mechanical stress on the FPC during insertion, extending the life of the flexible cable. Its vertical orientation allows for a smaller PCB footprint compared to right-angle connectors, while the gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable electrical performance with a low 30mOhm contact resistance.

Applications

Internal Board-to-Board Interconnects
Connecting small LCD modules or capacitive touch panels to a main control board in industrial or consumer devices.
Peripheral Integration
Interfacing sensor arrays or specialized keypad membranes where a vertical FPC entry is required for space efficiency.
Handheld Device Prototyping
Used in compact electronics where flexible cabling reduces weight and improves routing within tight enclosures.
