Yes. Nicomatic provides an interconnect solution which allows to associate the two systems:
- 2SLxx (female housing)
- 1SMxx (male housing)
- 12472 (female contacts)
- 12471 (male contacts)

The flat cables used for Nicomatic flexcable jumpers equipped with Crimpflex connectors are made of flat copper conductors both sides adhesive bonded to aluminium foils.

0.5 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.27 / 2.54mm pitches are available.

From 0.5mm for space saving to 2.54mm, a large variety of pitches is available to suit your needs.

P3 cables are used for mating to ZIF sockets and P7 are for soldering to a PCB.

Please report the issue to Nicomatic, the quality department will issue a RMA number if applicable. When returning the parts record the RMA No. On the package.

Please contact your sales associates. Nicomatic as the manufacturer will provide necessary assistance and support to rectify the issue.

For parts that are purchased from Nicomatic France, please contact QUALITY@NICOMATIC.FR. For parts purchased from other subsidiaries please contact sales at that facility.

There are 2 types of Dimple : Dimple & Micro-Dimple. The Micro-Dimple exists for 6mm domes. Thanks to its small size it allows, in case of dust on the circuit, to eliminate the dust and make the contact.
The Dimple on the 8.4mm,10mm & 12.2mm is recommended for flexible circuits in order to limit the travel.

It is a patent & trademark of Nicomatic. The Switch'Air Dome helps to create a cushion of air between the domes so that they do not stick together. This process ensures an efficient and reliable automatic placement.

Shelf life after opening the moisture proof packaging of LEDs has changed from 1 year to 1 week. It is recommended that customers use all LEDs within the package at one time. If the LED after unpacking is not used, it must be resealed and stored, and it is recommended to bake before the next use of the upper part.

It Is The Same One.

The data are the same, the only difference is the taping's quantities.

P.A.S. (Pre-Assembled Spacer). It is an additional layer applied under the retaining layer with channels enabling a volume of air around the dome. The spacer can be made of different materials, for example with polyester 0.1mm thick or transparent PET 0.1mm thick.
The ventilation is made via channels in the spacer layer connecting the various dome chambers.

The array with kiss cuts is an array with a series of cuts in the polyester/adhesive carrier around the dome. It is considered as a standard product. However, P.A.S. arrays tend also to become a standard. It depends on the usage.

The array will make it possible to place at once all the keys of your MMI switch. This you will avoid all problems related to dome positionning, lacking dome double or reverse dome.

It is a polyester carrier with pre-positioned domes. It can be described as a custom made array according to the specification of our customers.

AMM has been designed as a miniature connector for demanding environments taking as well into account your supply chain problematics in terms of availability, cost and streamlining. For this purpose, our AMM connector has been tested against key performances (electrical, vibration, shock,...) to provide you with product reliability and supply chain affordability. The list of performances tested is available on the AMM webpage.

Standard pre-wired female connectors are delivered with mounted jackscrews (V16) and blue AWG28 MIL wire, backpotted. It is available in lengths of 150, 300 and 450mm.

Those versions are stocked.

You can also select other AWG (AWG26 or AWG30) with other wire colors and adapted length upon request.

We can provide you with more refined details depending on the number contacts you use, the configuration type and other parameters such as cable AWG. Here are some examples at 25°C: 
For 6 pins configuration, from 4A per contact on PCB/PCB to 4.8A per contact on PCB/AWG26 
For 20 pins configuration, from 2.5A per contact on PCB/PCB to 4.8A per contact on PCB/AWG26 
For 50 pins configuration, from 1.8A per contact on PCB/PCB to 3.2A per contact on PCB/AWG26

You can use PCB to PCB assembly, either straight through or SMT. And PCB to wire with male connector on PCB and female pre-wired.

With AMM, you can arrange 6, 10, 20, 34 and 50 signal contacts. Those pin counts are standard and stocked. It is possible to have other arrangements from 4 to 50 upon request, Please contact us.

It is reliable in small spaces & MIL type harsh environments. It can save up to 50% of weight and space vs. a CMM that generally has 2 ears needed for the fixings on each side.

OMM is a small round connector based on the same materials as the market star CMM connector. It is used with LF signal contacts and is modular with the possible configurations from 1 to 8 pins. It has 1 central captive screw for a secure connection.

It is a Hi-Rel flexible connection system used in MIL-AERO applications mainly. NICOMATIC provides an alternative to classic round cables - 2mm pitch - 2 rows, from 04 to 60 signal contacts - board to board, board to cable, cable to cable versions - 3A contacts

Minimum breakdown voltage = 1000 Vrms
Withstanding voltage = 750 Vrms
Rated voltage = 250 Vrms (Also called operating voltage)

CMM321:
Contact area is Copper Alloy/ Ni (2µ) + Au 1µ
Contact tail Is Copper Alloy / Ni (2µ) + Au Flash 0.1µ
CMM322:
Body is Copper Alloy / Ni 2 Μ+ Au 0.2 Μ
Socket boby is Beryllium Alloy / Ni 2 Μ + Au 1.25 Μ

Nickel 2µ is used as a barrier against Migration of Au. If you put Au directly on Copper that would lead to Gold pollution and then to oxidation, So there will be a very bad contact resistance.

Yes. This is a 1 time reinsertion for LF crimp contacts, 50 cycles for special contacts HF/HP series 30 (coaxmatic 30) and 5 cycles for special contacts HF/HP series 22 (coaxmatic 22).

Up to 11 Ghz (depends on the cable used and test routine followed).

Up to 30A depending on cable and test routine used.

Yes, UL 94-V0 norm.

The following termination styles are available : board solder, surface mount, crimped on cable or solder on cable and pressfit.

Yes. For the CMM100 & 200, an optional latch offers the security of interconnection. For the CMM220, 320/340 and CMM Multi-Mix, an internal locking system is available (Jackscrew mechanism).

In French, Connecteur Micro-Millimetrique Or Micro-Millimetric Connector. It is a 2mm pitch connector.

Board to board, board to wire and wire to wire, CMM connectors give the designer a wide choice of configurations in data transmissions (HF or LF) and High Power supplies (HP). The connector is available in mixed layout or in all signal.
