The HF41F/12-ZST is a 12-way ZST (Zero Insertion Force) connector manufactured by HF (Hirose Electric).

Specifications:

• Type: ZST (Zero Insertion Force) Connector
• Number of Contacts: 12-way
• Gender: Typically available in both male and female versions
• Contact Material: Phosphor bronze or beryllium copper (gold-plated for enhanced conductivity)
• Insulation Material: High-temperature resistant plastic (e.g., PBT, LCP)
• Current Rating: Typically 1A per contact
• Voltage Rating: Up to 250V AC/DC
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C (may vary based on model)
• Mating Cycles: 5,000+ (depending on usage conditions)
• Mounting Style: Through-hole or surface mount (SMT)

Descriptions:

• Designed for low insertion force applications, reducing wear and tear during mating cycles.
• Commonly used in PCB-to-PCB connections, flexible circuit boards, and electronic modules.
• Ensures reliable signal transmission with minimal contact resistance.

Features:

• Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Mechanism: Reduces mechanical stress during mating.
• Secure Locking Mechanism: Prevents accidental disconnection.
• Compact Design: Suitable for space-constrained applications.
• Gold-Plated Contacts: Enhances conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• High Durability: Long lifespan with repeated insertions.
