Are you looking to improve compactness, reduce weight, or allow more flexible movement?
FFC can provide a high-performance alternative to traditional round wires, especially in systems with repeated movements or limited space.
To meet these constraints, Nicomatic offers Crimpflex®, a solderless mechanical crimping technology designed to deliver reliable and durable interconnection between FFC, wires, and printed circuit boards.
A versatile solution for different types of connections
Crimpflex® addresses a wide range of interconnection needs:
- Flex-to-wire: connection between a flat cable or a printed circuit and wires
- Flex-to-flex: direct connection between two flat cables or between a flat cable and a printed circuit
- Flex-to-PCB: connection between a flat cable or a printed circuit and a board
- Wire-to-wire: connection between two round cables
This flexibility makes it a smart choice for compact and industrial applications.
A repeatable crimping process with no thermal stress
Crimpflex® is based on a cold crimping process, with no added material and no soldering required:
- Reduces risks related to thermal stress
- Ensures repeatability and mechanical strength suitable for industrial environments
- Lowers the risk of disconnections often observed with manual insertion solutions (ZIF/LIF)
A modular interconnect system designed for easy integration
The Crimpflex® architecture provides multiple options to adapt the level of security to your project needs:
- Polarized housings (walled headers)
- Locking latches available to prevent unintentional disconnections
- Compatible with 1.27 mm and 2.54 mm pitches, along with various configurations
A production-friendly solution with a strong performance-to-price ratio
Crimpflex® is designed to fit seamlessly into your processes, from prototyping to full production:
- Can be used with a manual tool for small quantities
- Crimping press available for industrial environments
- Option to receive pre-crimped subassemblies, ready to integrate
Its performance-to-price ratio makes it an accessible solution for applications with moderate environmental constraints.
Conclusion
Crimpflex® is a simple and efficient crimping technology tailored to flat cable interconnection needs.
It ensures reliable, repeatable, and easy-to-integrate connections for industrial environments, while offering customization options based on your desired level of security.
