(2.16mm) Density Introduction Miniature Ribbon The Miniature Ribbon connector has been a mainstay in the electronics industry for decades. First widely used in telecommunications, it has proven itself to be a very reliable interconnection system, with generous wiping action, high contact pressure, large mating surface area in a relatively compact for- mat, and polarized shells to ensure proper orientation in mating. The Miniature Ribbon connector gets its name from the ribbon-like shape of the mating end of the contact. It is a derivative of the first connector design to incorporate this type of interconnection where mating members are equally flexible. Each contact is backed up by its respective insulator, resulting in high contact pressure without concern over relaxation that can occur with a beam or cantilever design. Industry standard sizes for this product are 14, 24, 36, 50, and 64 positions. Cinch adheres to industry-standard contact numbering and mating geometry. Cinch has led the way in making the Miniature Ribbon connector one of the most cost-effective yet high-quality connector systems in the industry. From its roots in the telecommunications industry where it is traditionally known as the Key Telephone style connector (USOC Type RJ21), Cinchs innovations in termination, latching, and accessories have helped make the Miniature Ribbon family the choice for applications in computers and instrumentation as well. It is called out as the standard connector for a parallel printer interface (IEEE 1284-B, also known as Centronics), multi-purpose peripheral interface (SCSI-1), and instrumentation interface (IEEE-488, also know as GPIB). Cinch manufactures one of the most diverse lines of Miniature Ribbon TM products in the industry. From SUPERIBBON all-plastic products with solderless termination to full-metal shell products with solder terminations, and even filtered versions designed to solve EMI problems, Cinch can provide the Miniature Ribbon products you need. Several options are available so you can find the right Cinch Miniature Ribbon product for your application. Cinchs method of integrating features into the product often reduces overall installed cost compared to other alternatives. Select the termination type, the configuration, the latching and mounting methods to be used, and any accessories that would make the installation of the connector complete.
