Body Width	6.0mm
Total Height	2.10mm

Product Overview

This connector is part of Vitalconn’s advanced FPC series, characterized by a front-flip (actuator) locking mechanism and a bottom-contact design. Based on its series specifications, it is equipped with integrated grounding functionality to ensure signal integrity and enhanced mechanical stability on the PCB. The housing is typically constructed from high-performance LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) to withstand high-temperature reflow soldering processes.

Product Specifications

Pitch: 1.0 mm.
Height: 2.1 mm.
Number of Positions: 8 Pins.
Locking Mechanism: Front-flip.
Contact Type: Bottom contact.
Grounding: Integrated grounding function.
Mounting Type: Surface Mount (SMT) Assembly.
Materials: Likely LCP housing (White) and LCP actuator (Black) based on series standards.
Plating: Selective gold plating on contact areas with matte tin on solder tails (Standard for the series).

Product Features

ZIF Mechanism: Facilitates zero-force insertion, preventing damage to the FPC’s conductive “gold fingers” during assembly.
Flip-Lock Actuator: The front-flip lever provides a secure mechanical lock, ensuring the circuit remains in place even under vibration.
Integrated Shielding: Features grounding clips (or grounding functionality) to provide an electrical path for EMI reduction and increase the strength of the solder joint.
Thermal Durability: Utilizes LCP materials, making the connector compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering.
Compact Profile: A height of 2.1mm allows for use in slim devices where vertical space is limited.

Applications

While specific end-products depend on the user’s design, 1.0mm pitch 8-pin ZIF connectors are commonly found in:

Consumer Electronics: Smart home devices, wearables, and handheld gadgets.
Display Modules: Connecting small LCD or OLED panels to control boards.
Computer Peripherals: Internal cabling for keyboards, touchpads, and sensors.
Industrial Equipment: Compact diagnostic tools and interface panels.

Packing Details

Packaging Type: Vacuum Packaging.
Protection: The vacuum seal protects the gold-plated terminals from environmental oxidation and prevents moisture absorption by the LCP housing.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is the contact orientation for the F10041FA008M1WL-DJ9?

This model is a bottom-contact connector, meaning the conductive traces on the FPC must face downward toward the PCB for a successful connection.

2. Does this 8-pin connector support grounding? Yes, it is designed with grounding functionality, which helps in securing the FPC and managing electromagnetic interference.

3. What is the pitch and height of this specific connector? This model features a 1.0mm pitch and a vertical height of 2.1mm, making it suitable for designs requiring a slightly larger pitch than the standard 0.50mm while maintaining a low profile.
