Samtec ZF1 0.5 mm Pitch 20 Way Horizontal Female Edge Connector Surface Mount Solder Termination ZF5S-20-01-T-WT-TR

Samtec ZF5S-20-01-T-WT-TR is a high precision 20 way horizontal female Edge Connector with a 0.5 mm pitch designed for flat flexible cable (FFC) connections with zero insertion force (ZIF) operation. It is ideal for industrial electronics requiring compact and reliable PCB interconnects.

This surface mount connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts plated with matt tin to provide excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The natural liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing enhances mechanical durability under demanding environmental conditions.

Operating voltage is rated at 195 V with a current capacity of 1.8 A, making it suitable for medium-low power electronic assemblies typically found in industrial automation, instrumentation, and consumer electronics devices.

The connector’s horizontal orientation and bottom contact position facilitate optimized PCB footprint and cable routing in tight mechanical assemblies. Zero insertion force technology simplifies cable termination during manufacturing and maintenance, reducing wear on delicate cable contacts.

The operational temperature ranges from -55°C to 105°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments including industrial, commercial, and laboratory applications. The connector has 20 phosphor bronze contacts with matt tin plating for enhanced electrical performance.

Surface mount packaging maintains compact design enabling minimized PCB space usage. Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) design reduces mechanical stress on flat flexible cables. Durable natural LCP housing provides mechanical stability and resistance to temperature extremes.

Rated for 195 V and 1.8 A supporting signal and low power distribution in complex electronics. Horizontal orientation aids in easy cable management and connector accessibility. Bottom contact position supports streamlined PCB layout and soldering processes.

Resilient to wide temperature range from -55°C to 105°C for various industrial environments.

This product is part of the Samtec ZF1 series of FPC connectors. It is broadly used in industrial automation, manufacturing equipment, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and HVAC systems where reliable circuit interconnections are critical.
