Black piece of J7 OLED connector broke

[emakon]

Hi everybody,

while installing the case the black thingy on this connector broke. I already figured out that this is a 30 pin 0.5mm FPC. But is it a “bottom connection” or a “top connection”? My plan is to order such a connector on ebay and just replace the black piece…

Thanks!

This is a bottom contact FPC connector.

Please make sure the exposed copper pads on the flat cable are facing downwards (towards the PCB) when inserting.
