FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Does the F05057FA020M1WLJ9 support grounding for EMI protection? Yes, this model is designed “with grounding function” and includes integrated left and right copper alloy clips to provide a secure grounding path.

2. Which direction should the FPC conductive gold fingers face? This is a bottom-contact connector, meaning the conductive traces of the FPC must face downward toward the PCB surface during insertion.

3. Is this connector compatible with lead-free reflow soldering? Yes, the housing and actuator are made of LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), a high-temperature material specifically chosen to withstand the temperatures required for lead-free SMT processes.
