80 Pin 0.50mm Pitch Ultra Narrow ZIF FPC Connector F05054FA080M1WLJ9

Product Overview

This model is categorized as an “Ultra-Narrow Version”, characterized by a remarkably slim body width of just 4.9mm to maximize available PCB real estate. It utilizes a front-flip (actuator) locking mechanism and a bottom-contact design. To ensure both electrical signal integrity and mechanical reliability, the assembly is equipped with integrated left and right grounding clips.

Product Specifications

• Pitch: 0.50 mm.
• Height: 2.1 mm.
• Body Width: 4.9 mm (Ultra-Narrow Version).
• Number of Positions: 80 Pins.
• Housing Material: White LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer).
• Actuator Material: Black LCP.
• Terminal Material: Phosphor Copper.
• Grounding Clips: Copper Alloy with Matte Tin plating.
• Contact Area Plating: Gold plating (1u” Min) over a Nickel underplate (50~100u”).
• Solder Area Plating: Matte Tin (80~160u”).

Product Features

• ZIF Flip-Lock Design: The front-flip actuator allows for zero-force insertion of the FPC, protecting delicate conductive gold fingers from mechanical wear during assembly.
• Ultra-Narrow Profile: The 4.9mm width is ideal for ultra-high-density placement on modern PCBs where board space is extremely limited.
• Integrated Shielding: Features grounding functionality through integrated metal clips to provide a secure electrical path for EMI reduction and increase the mechanical strength of the solder joints.
• Thermal Reliability: Constructed with high-performance LCP thermoplastic materials, making it fully compatible with standard lead-free high-temperature reflow soldering processes.
• Superior Conductivity: Selective gold plating in the contact area ensures low contact resistance and long-term environmental durability.

Applications

Given its 80-pin high-density configuration and ultra-narrow profile, this connector is typically used in:

• High-Resolution Displays: Connecting high-definition LCD or OLED panels to main control boards in slim devices.
• Consumer Electronics: Internal high-bandwidth signal routing for ultra-slim smartphones, tablets, and high-performance wearables.
• Automotive Systems: High-density sensor interfaces and digital instrument cluster connections.
• Industrial/Medical: Compact diagnostic imaging and high-density monitoring equipment.

Packing Details

• Packaging Type: Vacuum Packaging.
• Function: The vacuum seal protects the gold-plated terminals and the LCP housing from environmental moisture and oxidation during transit and storage.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Does the F05054FA080M1WLJ9 support grounding for EMI management?

Yes, this model is designed “with grounding functionality” and includes integrated left and right metal clips to provide a secure grounding path and help manage electromagnetic interference.

2. Which direction should the FPC conductive gold fingers face?

This connector utilizes a bottom-contact design, meaning the conductive traces of the FPC must face downward toward the PCB surface upon insertion.

3. What is the benefit of the “Ultra-Narrow” 4.9mm width for an 80-pin connector?

The 4.9mm width is significantly slimmer than standard wide (8.0mm) or narrow (6.0mm) versions, allowing designers to fit a high-density 80-pin interface into extremely tight spaces on a PCB.
