Erni offers headers and female connectors for flat ribbon cable - ML-C-83503 and DIN 41651. The female connectors have forked insulation displacement contacts - the bifurcated ends pierce the insulation of the flat cable and make contact with the conductors under high pressure. This makes it possible to connect conductors with up to 64 contacts in a single process without having to previously strip the cable.
This low-cost corrosion-proof type of wiring provides constant contact resistance and high physical strength. A mating frame prevents the contacts from touching and guides the female connector during mating and disconnecting. Swivelling locking clamps protect the connector against vibration and shock and act as ejectors when disconnecting. Therefore, no tension is exerted on the pins when the connector is disconnected.
The male connector is available with straight or angled solder terminations. Also available are male connectors with straight terminals for ERNI solderless compliant press-fit technique.
