OVERVIEW
The CLINCHER™ connectorfamily includes single-row
pin and receptacle connectors designed fortermination
to flat flexible circuitry. Products are available for Flat
Flexible Cable (FFC), Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), and
Conductive Ink Circuitry (CIC).
The connectors include features that optimize
reliability at both the termination and disconnect
interfaces. “Clinch” cable termination produces
gas-tight, contamination-free connections to each
conductor. The receptacle connectors utilize FCI’s
proven and highly-reliable Mini PV™ contact design.
Complementary shrouded PCB headers provide options
for latching and proper connector alignment.
Contacts are pre-loaded to connector housings
enabling mass termination to unprepared cable. The
CLINCHER™ connector mass termination design
accelerates cable assembly processes and reduces
costs.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
• “Clinch” cable termination provides four gas-tight,
contamination-free contact points to each conductor
• Receptacle design features highly-reliable Mini PV
dual-metal contacts
• Mass termination to unprepared cable reduces
assembly costs
• Housing window permits crimp inspection to verify
propertermination
• Receptacle openings feature a beveled “lead-in”
to reduce risk of stubbing with mating pins
• Connector sizes range from 2 to 34 positions
• Polarization options aid proper alignment and mating
• Positive-locking, latching options assure secure
mating to industry-standard headers for severe
applications
• Economy two-wall PCB headers provide passive
propertermination
• Receptacle openings feature a beveled “lead-in”
