Amphenol FCI Clincher Connector (2 Position,
Male)
COM-14195 ROHS
DESCRIPTION DOCUMENTS
These Clincher connectors from Amphenol FCI can be used to terminate Flat
Flexible Cables (FFCs) to an easy-to-use standard header. Simply insert the
end of the cable into the connector and press it closed. The teeth inside the
connector will “clinch” around the conductors and break them out to two male
0.1" spaced pin headers!
Though the Clincher connector can be used with FFCs, we also like to use them
with our FlexiForce sensors and other flex/force sensors found in the
Recommended Products section below.
Note: Please be aware that we will not be able to accept returns on this
connector if it has been closed. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

These do not work well for clamping the pins on any of the flex/force sensors that sparkfun recommends. The
pins on the sensors are way too stiff for the connector and bend out of way. This connector is really meant to
penetrate the flex circuit directly. The pins attached to the sensors are already spaced correctly for header so
this isn’t really doing anything anyway.
In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle blew a power supply in his dorm room
and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his
own company. Since then, SparkFun has been committed to sustainably
helping our world achieve electronics literacy from our headquarters in
Boulder, Colorado.
No matter your vision, SparkFun's products and resources are designed
to make the world of electronics more accessible. In addition to over
2,000 open source components and widgets, SparkFun offers
curriculum, training and online tutorials designed to help demystify the
wonderful world of embedded electronics. We're here to help you start
something.
