Membrane Switch Terminal Crimping Machine for FPC and FFC Tails, 2P–20P WM-385

›

The WM-385 crimps terminals onto membrane-switch tails, FPC and FFC flex circuits — single-end crimping for 2P to 20P as standard. Its 2.0 ton press puts clean, even crimps on delicate flat conductors that hand presses tend to lift or skew. This is a true bench unit — 600 × 400 × 650 mm, 65 kg, AC220 V single phase at 750 W — so it drops into a membrane-switch or panel line next to the assembly cells rather than claiming floor space. Crimp tooling is matched to your terminal and conductor pitch, and you qualify it against your own circuit samples before committing.

Specifications

Key features

• Purpose-built for flat flexible conductors — membrane switch tails, FPC and FFC ends that round-wire crimpers cannot grip straight
• 2.0 T of controlled press force seats terminal rows evenly, avoiding the lifted-corner and skewed-pin defects of manual benches
• Compact 65 kg bench format brings the machine to the assembly cell instead of routing flex circuits across the shop
• 2P through 20P standard range covers most membrane keypads and display tails, with other configurations quotable

What it processes

• Membrane switch and keypad tail termination, 2P – 20P
• FPC and FFC connector-end crimping for displays and small modules
• Appliance control panels, industrial keypads and medical front-panel production

Suited for: terminating flat flexible circuits — membrane switch tails, FPC and FFC from 2P to 20P — in keypad, display and control-panel production. Not suited for: round wire or reel-fed harness terminals — for those, pick from the wire-fed models in the terminal crimping machines category. It is also the wrong machine if your flat part is a cable of separate conductors rather than a printed circuit: ribbon and DuPont-style cable has to be cut, split apart and stripped before it is crimped, which is what the WM-3215 flat ribbon cable double-end crimping machine does — 3 to 20 pins, both ends in one cycle, 15,000 terminals per hour. Tails wider than 20P are a custom sourcing case: tell us your spec — sourcing unusual machines is what we do.

Because die sets are matched to your terminal and pitch, acceptance runs on your real parts: send a batch of your actual membrane tails or flex circuits with your terminals, and we crimp them on this machine on video before you commit.
