What are the key features of ZF1-11-02-WT?
- 1.00 mm pitch ZIF actuator mechanism enables damage-free insertion of 11-conductor FFC/FPC cables without insertion force
- White flip-type actuator provides tactile confirmation of cable lock and visual alignment aid during assembly
- Low-profile SMT footprint compatible with 0.3 mm thick FFC cables, supporting camera module and display panel connections
What is ZF1-11-02-WT used for?
The ZF1-11-02-WT is well suited for connecting flat flexible cables to PCBs in compact consumer electronics, such as camera modules, LCD displays, and capacitive touch panels requiring an 11-conductor 1.00 mm pitch interface. Its zero insertion force design prevents damage to thin 0.3 mm FFC cables during repeated connect-disconnect cycles in service and repair workflows, and the white actuator aids visual inspection on automated assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a ZIF connector like the ZF1-11-02-WT preferred over a traditional friction-fit FFC connector for camera modules?
ZIF connectors require zero grams of insertion force, eliminating the bending stress that friction-fit connectors apply to delicate 0.3 mm thick FFC cables during insertion. Camera module cables are typically only 11 conductors wide at 1.00 mm pitch, and even modest mechanical stress during assembly can crack conductors, causing intermittent failures. The ZIF actuator on the ZF1-11-02-WT locks the cable with a single flip of the 0.2 N actuator, guaranteeing full contact on all 11 pins.
How many connect-disconnect cycles can the ZF1-11-02-WT ZIF actuator reliably support in service applications?
SAMTEC ZF1-series ZIF connectors are rated for a minimum of 30 insertion and extraction cycles, which is sufficient for typical field service and repair workflows. Some variants are rated up to 50 cycles. Each cycle keeps contact resistance below 50 milliohms per pin at the 1.00 mm pitch, ensuring signal integrity for display data, camera control, and sensor lines even after repeated servicing.
What FFC cable specifications are compatible with the ZF1-11-02-WT, and how does pitch affect cable sourcing?
The ZF1-11-02-WT accepts 11-conductor FFC cables with a 1.00 mm conductor pitch and a cable thickness of approximately 0.3 mm. This 1.00 mm pitch is a widely adopted standard for consumer and industrial flex cables, meaning compatible FFC assemblies are readily sourced from multiple manufacturers in quantities from 1 to 10,000 pieces with lead times typically under 2 weeks and pricing starting below 0.10 USD per cable at volume.
In what high-volume PCB assembly processes can the ZF1-11-02-WT be placed, and what packaging is available?
The ZF1-11-02-WT is available in tape-and-reel packaging compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment, enabling placement on high-speed lines at throughputs exceeding 10,000 units per hour. Its SMT pads support standard lead-free reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. Tray packaging is also available for prototyping quantities of fewer than 100 pieces.
