The useful distinction
Recognize it. Then verify it.
TE identifies part 1-2492111-7 as a 0.5 mm pitch, 17-position, right-angle ZIF FPC connector with a top-contact mating location. [C361A]
The TE product page describes a specific top-contact board connector; the description alone does not endorse a different cable thickness, pitch, position count or bottom-contact insertion. [C361B]
TE lists part 1-2492111-7 with a stuffer actuator and a specified mating FPC/FFC thickness of 0.3 mm. [C361C]
Section A-A of TE drawing 2492111 depicts the contact on the upper side of the inserted cable, with the board below; top-contact does not mean an opposite cable-entry direction. [C361D]
1-2492111-7: positions: 17; mounting: surface-mount; coupling: ZIF with stuffer actuator; dimensions: 14.1 mm (Manufacturer connector length); dimensions: 2 mm (Manufacturer connector height); dimensions: 5.2 mm (Manufacturer connector width); dimensions: 0.3 mm (Accepted flex-cable thickness (not connector body)). Only 1-2492111-7; no family-wide generalization. [C361E]
Source-scoped identification facts
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

Specifications and limits
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.TE identifies part 1-2492111-7 as a 0.5 mm pitch, 17-position, right-angle ZIF FPC connector with a top-contact mating location. Top-contact and bottom-contact variants can look similar, but contact face and exact cable specification must match.
Before connection or replacement
Find the exact manufacturer designation on the physical part or device bill of materials. Confirm the complete mating part number, termination, orientation and cable construction using the current maker drawing. Verify signals, cable assignment and system ratings from the exact equipment manual; do not energize an unverified assembly.
Evidence and engineering boundary
Manufacturers describe the series or named example, not a complete compatible harness, exact pin assignment, or electrical approval. No independent hardware, manufacturing drawing, license or device-specific test was performed. A physically similar housing or cable can have different retention, terminal geometry, wiring or ratings. Never infer an electrically safe assembly from the series name or pitch.
