[[tooltip-box]]Overview|Nicomatic’s CrimpFlex® connectors provide high-reliability interconnections for flexible circuits and cable assemblies in various demanding applications. Developed and patented by Nicomatic, these connectors ensure robust mechanical and electrical performance by implementing unique crimping technology that connects the conductor securely and efficiently.[[/tooltip-box]]
Key Features and Technical Specifications
- Crimping Technology: The CrimpFlex® system involves piercing conductors at six points, ensuring optimal mechanical retention (two points) and low-resistance electrical contact (four points). This system supports reliable mass termination in a single press stroke, which enhances accuracy and saves time.
- Current and Temperature: These connectors offer up to 3A continuous DC per contact, making them suitable for high-current applications. They operate in a broad temperature range from -55°C to +150°C, meeting diverse industrial demands.
- Materials: CrimpFlex® connectors use phosphor bronze contacts, with options for tin plating or selective gold plating in mating areas, providing versatility for different conductivity and corrosion resistance needs.
- Housing and Compatibility: The connectors include various housing series (e.g., OFxx, 4Fxx, 2Exx), designed to accommodate diverse flexible circuit configurations. They support easy assembly and disassembly post-crimping, enhancing adaptability for maintenance.
