Electronics Interconnect circuits connector Flexible InterconnectETCO FWC Series Flex Circuit Connectors for flexible circuits eliminates soldering and welding when attaching wires to foil and film substrates. Devices attach to lead wires using an ‘F’ style crimp by automatic wire processing equipment and have features that securely embed when staked into the foil or film substrate. Suitable for critical applications, devices are designed for attaching 16 to 22 AWG wires to aluminum- and copper-foil or film laminates from 0.010” to 0.040” thick. Supplied in strip form to increase production speeds and efficiency, products can be made to OEM specifications in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses to accommodate different substrates. Available in brass and tinned high brass, applications include capacitors, electro-luminescent lighting and displays, flexible heaters, and relays.
