CIN::APSE®
High-Speed Interconnect Technology
The unique construction of the CIN::APSE contact
provides superior mechanical and electrical performance.
It is constructed of randomly wound molybdenum wire that
is formed into a cyclindr ical shape. Standard CIN::APSE
contact diameters are 0.020" and 0.040".
Mechanical
• Small form factor (0.020" diameter by 0.32" min. high)
• Low compression force (approx. 2.5 oz. min. per contact)
• Multiple beam structures
• Several points of contact per button
• Extremely lightweight
• Natural wiping action
Electrical
• Shor t signal path
Ver y low inductance and resistance
• Signal integrity tested in the GHz range
Typical CIN::APSE Applications
• LGA package I/O to PC board (IC packages,
multi-chip modules)
• PC board to PC board (parallel processors,
enhancement/mezzanine cards)
• Flex circuit to PC board (rigid flex, harnessing)
• Flex circuit to ceramic (chip to harness)
The basic button contact
configuration consists of a single
button installed in our patented
“hourglass” design.
The hourglass cavity retains the
CIN::APSE contact securely.
Typically 0.003" protrudes from the
top and the bottom of the insulator.
Step 1:
Using alignment features,
position the CIN::APSE
connector between a LGA chip
package and PCB or two PCBs
that have matching footprints.
Step 2:
Add Z-Axis compression
and secure.

1. Button-Only
This is the basic CIN::APSE contact configuration. It is ideally suited for
z-axis applications requiring minimum height, high density, and signal
integrity. This configuration is used in LGA and IC sockets, PCB to PCB,
and flex print circuit to PCB applications.
2. Plunger-Button
The addition of a gold-plated brass plunger increases the durability of the
CIN::APSE contact system while also achieving additional height.This
configuration suits itself especially well for PCB to PCB interconnect and
those that require excessive handling.
CIN::APSE Applications
Due to its breakthrough nature, it is impossible to illustrate all of the applications CIN::APSE
technology can address.The following applications illustrate only a por tion of the types of
interconnect problems that CIN::APSE can solve.

Cinch Commercial Products, consisting of Jones Plugs and Sockets, Barrier Blocks, Edge Cards, Two-Piece Commercial Dins,
Mini Din Plugs, and their newest addition the 75Press-Fit BNC Receptacle, provide a wide var iety of connectors for the
purchaser and designer to chose from.
The Jones Plugs and Sockets have been utilized for decades and provide a quick, reliable, and economical means of solving
your higher current-carrying capacity needs. Available in two series (300 and 2,400), these connectors can be found in data
processing controls; amusement and vending machines; medical, communication, and test equipment; as well as industrial
controls and heavy-duty, batter y-powered equipment. Both series are available in a variety of cable and panel
mounting options.
Cinch Barrier Blocks are designed to simplify wiring work by reducing splicing, preventing current leaks and shor t circuits, and
increasing insulation. Available in a variety of densities, these barrier blocks can be found in applications ranging from industrial
controls to switching systems.
Designed specially for applications where space is at a premium, the Cinch Mini Din family is ideal for personal computers,
keyboard-mouse interface, hand-held electronic equipment, office-automation equipment, and audio and video equipment.
Available in sizes 3 through 8 contact, the Cinch Mini Din family includes a fully shielded cable mounted plug in various cable
lengths or cable mounted plug components for customers with high-volume assembly and overmold capabilities.
Cinch Edge Card Connectors are available in a variety of styles on both .100 or .156 center spacing.
The newest addition to the commercial family, the 75Press-Fit BNC Receptacle is designed around a unique patented press-fit
design that allows for multiple inser tion into a backplane without loss of mechanical retention or electrical performance.
When looking for time reliability to solve your commercial interconnect needs, look no fur ther than Cinch Connectors.
Whether it's a Jones Plug and Socket, Barr ier Block, Edge Card, Mini Din plug, or our newest addition,
the 75BNC Press-Fit connector, you will always know years of customer satisfaction stand behind the product you chose.

Barrier Blocks
FEATURES
Interposing barriers between terminals yield higher electrical ratings and provide additional
protection against frayed wire shorting.
A wide variety of barrier blocks makes it possible to select the combination of mechanical and
electrical characteristics that best meet the exact requirements of your application.
A wide selection of optional terminals and fanning strips permits the equipment designer to
choose the method of termination most suitable for his environmental specifications and
manufacturing requirements.
