Frequently Asked Questions
What cable type and pitch is the SAMTEC ZF5S-09-03-T-WT designed to accept?
The ZF5S-09-03-T-WT is a ZIF (zero insertion force) FFC/FPC connector accepting 18-position flat flexible cables or flexible printed circuits at 0.50 mm pitch. The 0.50 mm pitch accommodates ultra-fine cable designs used in space-constrained portable and consumer electronics assemblies requiring 18 signal channels.
How does the zero insertion force design of the ZF5S-09-03-T-WT benefit cable assembly and maintenance?
The zero insertion force mechanism allows the FFC or FPC cable to be inserted and removed without applying contact pressure during insertion, protecting the 18 delicate 0.50 mm pitch contacts from mechanical wear. This significantly reduces cable and connector damage risk during assembly and field service operations on sensitive PCB assemblies.
What is the expected product lifecycle and body dimensions of the ZF5S-09-03-T-WT for long-term design planning?
The ZF5S-09-03-T-WT has a YTEOL (years to end of life) of 8 years, ensuring long-term supply availability for sustained production. Its body measures 0.4 inch in length and 0.192 inch in depth, making it suitable for ultra-compact PCB layouts in portable medical, consumer, and instrumentation designs using 18-position FFC cables.
