What are the key features of 522071833?
- 18 pins at 1 mm pitch in a single-row right-angle configuration for compact FPC board-to-cable interconnections
- Silver-plated contacts deliver low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for reliable multi-cycle signal transmission
- Right-angle mounting orientation enables FPC cable routing parallel to the PCB, minimizing assembly height in portable designs
What is 522071833 used for?
The Molex 522071833 is designed for flexible printed circuit interconnections in mobile devices, portable electronics, and compact industrial modules requiring 18 signal channels at 1 mm pitch. Its right-angle orientation allows FPC cables to exit parallel to the PCB surface, reducing vertical clearance demands in thin consumer products such as tablet displays and camera modules. Silver-plated contacts support reliable signal integrity across repeated mating cycles typical in field-serviceable assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the Molex 522071833 provide and what is the connector pitch?
The Molex 522071833 provides 18 pins in a single-row right-angle configuration with 1 mm pitch between contacts. This combination of 18-pin capacity and 1 mm pitch is commonly used in compact consumer electronics requiring reliable FPC connections with sufficient spacing for cost-effective cable manufacturing and assembly.
What are the contact material and operating temperature range for the 522071833?
The 522071833 uses silver-plated contacts that provide low contact resistance and good corrosion resistance across all 18 pins. The connector is rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring consistent electrical performance in consumer electronics, portable devices, and light industrial FPC applications across a wide thermal range.
Why does the right-angle orientation of the 522071833 benefit thin portable electronics designs?
The right-angle mounting of the 522071833 directs FPC cables parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular, significantly reducing total assembly height compared to vertical FPC connectors with the same 18 pins. This profile suits tablet display connections, smartphone camera modules, and wearable devices operating across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C where vertical clearance is tightly constrained.
When should the 522071833 at 1 mm pitch be preferred over finer-pitch FPC connectors for the same 18-channel design?
The 522071833 with 1 mm pitch is preferred over 0.5 mm pitch FPC connectors when larger cable tolerances, easier manual assembly, or reduced alignment sensitivity matter. Its 18 pins spaced at 1 mm provide reliable mating with standard FPC cables, while 0.5 mm pitch alternatives deliver a narrower footprint but demand tighter manufacturing tolerances and more precise board handling during assembly.
