JST 0.5 mm Pitch 20 Way Straight Female FPC Connector, Solder Termination, ZIF, FLZT Series 20FLZ-RSM2-TB(LF)(SN)(P)

JST 20FLZ-RSM2-TB(LF)(SN)(P) is a 0.5 mm pitch, 20 way straight female FPC connector from the FLZT series, designed for precise and compact PCB interconnections where space is critical. This connector incorporates a zero insertion force (ZIF) mechanism, minimizing wear and extending the lifespan of the mating system, thereby ensuring long-term reliability in electronic assemblies.

The connector features a surface mount termination suitable for SMT reflow soldering, with housing made from heat resistant polyphenylene sulphide thermoplastic that tolerates high temperature soldering processes. The phosphor bronze contacts are plated with tin, providing good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.

With 20 contacts arranged in a single row, this connector supports up to 500 mA current at 50 volts AC, suitable for a range of low voltage electronic applications. The design includes locking mechanisms for secure connections and is compatible with both normal and reverse orientation FPC/FFC cables, accommodating different assembly requirements with its top and bottom contact positions.

The connector operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -25°C minimum to 85°C maximum, making it ideal for industrial, manufacturing, telecommunications, and consumer electronics use cases. Its slim height of approximately 2.00 mm above the PCB surface facilitates installations in tightly packed electronic systems.

The FLZT series 0.5 mm pitch FPC connectors from JST are widely recognized for their compactness, ease of installation, and durability, making them a preferred component for advanced PCB designs requiring fine pitch, reliable connecting solutions with solder type termination.
