The short answer is yes, Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDCs) work well with flex circuits if you follow a few simple precautions. IDCs are common with Flat Flexible Cables (FFCs), typically made with inexpensive polyester. If polyester film is not suitable for your application due to operating conditions and temperatures, then you may need to consider using a polyimide based flex. Rest assured, whatever connection device used on a basic FFC can also be used with a polyimide based flex.rnIDCs offer a custom and inexpensive termination method with considerable selection available in termination type and pitch. IDCs come in two basic types: individual contacts and complete "snap on" connectors.
