TECHNICAL NEWS
In aerospace, space, or defense, connector reliability is critical. Their resistance to vibrations, extreme temperatures, humidity, or altitude directly impacts the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of your systems.
Failing to anticipate these constraints can lead to:
– Costly redesigns,
– Production delays,
– Degraded performance in operation.
During the design phase, you must conduct a reliability study to estimate the probability that a system will remain operational over time. To speed up and objectify this process, Nicomatic provides an online calculator that models connector behavior under real constraints.
You may have faced this situation before: the board is ready to be designed, the components are selected, but one challenge remains. How can you find a connector that is both compatible with your pick & place lines and resistant to harsh environments?
In aerospace or defense, precision is non-negotiable. Engineers must balance process automation and mechanical robustness, while meeting the challenge of miniaturization.
It is precisely to meet this dual requirement that Nicomatic has developed the full SMT versions of its CMM (series 100 & 200) and EMM connectors: solutions designed to ensure reliability and direct integration into your automated production lines. Both contacts and mounting hardware are designed for seamless compatibility with automated processes.
With these solutions, you no longer have to choose between mechanical strength and automation. Your boards are ready for reliable, repeatable, and optimized assembly, directly on your production lines.
In today’s embedded electronic systems, engineers face a major challenge: integrating more and more functionality into ever-smaller spaces—without sacrificing signal speed or mechanical strength. Until now, this equation has been hard to solve without compromise. Nicomatic’s new Matr’YX connector range changes the game.
Designed for extreme environments—defense, aerospace, and high-performance embedded systems—Matr’YX combines miniaturization, reliability, and performance in one compact solution.
Pack More Without Sacrificing Performance
“We need to connect multiple boards in a tight space, with strict requirements for robustness and speed. Most solutions are too bulky or fall short of expectations.”
This customer feedback is typical of the challenges R&D teams face. Matr’YX was designed precisely to solve this kind of problem.
Equipped with an optimized BGA (Ball Grid Array), our connector offers up to 301 contacts in a 1 mm-pitch high-density grid—while maintaining a compact footprint.
High-Speed, Reliable Connection
Matr’YX isn’t just compact—it delivers impressive data transmission speeds up to 25 Gbps (PAM-4), with low contact resistance (<10 mΩ) and high insulation (≥1 GΩ). These performances are made possible by premium materials, such as a high-temperature LCP insulator and optimized contact geometries.
It ensures stable, interference-free data transmission, even in extreme conditions.
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.
