ETCO TFC and FWC Series Flex Circuit Connectors

TFC and FWC series flex circuit connectors are designed for attaching lead wires to flexible circuits and laminates used in space-constrained or dynamic applications. Use lances that embed into aluminum- or copper-foil and film laminates and terminate to lead wires using an F-crimp. Intended for flex circuits that bend, fold or move during operation in consumer, medical, aerospace and military electronics. TFC series supports thin films measuring 0.01″–0.025″ with 18–22AWG wire, while FWC series supports foil or film laminates measuring 0.01″–0.04″ with 16–22AWG wire. Both series come in brass or tinned high-brass and are supplied in strip form for automated production.
