- Easy assembly/Random connection
- Shin-Etsu Polymer Electronic Device Business Unit will introduce our random
connection technology by Movie.
It realizes the high reliability by many connecting points.
MAF type Inter-Connector consists of multiple rows of metal fibers arranged symmetrically in a sheet of silicone rubber. This type is the thinnest of metal connectors. Various shapes are available because of punch-out manufacuturing method applied. MAF type connectors are used for extensive applications including assembly or inspection device.
