Electronics Interconnect flex flex Interconnect interconnect rugged ruggedNICOMATIC Complete system of flat-flex cable to pcb interconnect is based around firm’s patented CrimpFlex system, which complies with rigorous electrical and mechanical requirements. Contacts ensure improved mechanical retention and electrical contact by piercing the flat-flex cable conductor in 6 points, and the contacts can pierce cable materials including polyester, FR4, polyimide, PTFE and more. Contacts are available on 1.27mm and 2.54mm pitch, in male, male solder tab and female versions to meet most requirements. Female contacts are selectively gold or tin plated, and are available in three versions: Hi-Flex; low insertion force; and high insertion force. Operating temperature is from -55°C to +150°C.
