Molex 5597 Series 8 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector, 1.25 mm Pitch, Through Hole, Solder, 200V, 1A, 39-53-2084

The Molex 39-53-2084 is a high-performance 8 way female FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connector from the 5597 Series. This right angle, through hole connector offers a compact 1.25 mm pitch that is especially well-suited for applications where board space is limited, providing an efficient solution for high-density PCB assembly.

Equipped with a zero insertion force (ZIF) slide actuator, this connector facilitates easy and secure FPC engagement, significantly reducing terminal wear and supporting repeat cycling. The staggered solder tails further enhance the mechanical stability of the connector during automated soldering and in-service use, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments.

The connector is designed to handle up to 1 ampere of current at a maximum voltage of 200 volts, meeting the requirements of a broad range of electronic and automotive applications. The robust housing material, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), together with phosphor bronze contacts plated with tin bismuth over nickel, ensures reliable electrical performance and long-term durability even under continuous usage.

Its right angle orientation and through hole termination style allow for optimal board mating configurations, while the slide type actuator provides a secure locking mechanism to prevent accidental disengagement of the FPC during operation or vibration. The connector maintains performance across temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C, supporting use in both standard and moderately harsh environments.

Main applications include FPC and FFC interconnection in automotive systems, industrial controls, consumer electronics, and other high-density circuit systems where repeatability, space efficiency, and signal integrity are required. This part is part of the widely used Molex 5597 series, known for its reliable actuation and compact footprint.

With the Molex 39-53-2084, designers benefit from a high-quality, space-saving ZIF connector solution that streamlines assembly and maintenance, while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics throughout the connector's operational life.
