Mil Aero flex connections

16 March 2011 Interconnection

With more and more printed ink and flex PCB circuits being used in Mil/Aero applications, Nicomatic has developed its Micro-Flex family. Taking advantage of its know-how in both crimp connectors and CMM connector developments, the company has launched the new connector system as well as a flex harness solution aimed at card-to-flex connections.

The technology ensures a high mechanical link and electrical continuity between 2 mm pitch CMM micro-connectors and flat conductor Crimpflex technology. In addition to the space savings achieved by the small pitch, the low weight enables the replacement of discrete wires and bulky cables still very present in avionics equipment. The connectors are available in single or double rows up to 60 contacts and with latching or stainless fixing hardware ensuring secure connection under high vibration environments.

Adaptations allow high temperature requirements to 125°C and higher with polyimide insulation. Instead of crimping round cables one by one, the crimping process that Nicomatic has developed provides simultaneous crimping of multiple contacts. The flat cable is crimped in one single operation and then the housing is assembled separately.
