CINCH introduced the miniature
ribbon connector in 1957, and it quickly became the standard connector in
the telephone industry. The ribbon contact design has proven to be one of
the most reliable as well as one of the most cost-effective designs in the
connector industry. It is this combination of reliability and affordability
that has made the ribbon connector the standard for "Centronics" Computer
Printer Interface "S.C.S.I." Since its introduction in 1957, CINCH has supplied
over 500,000,000 miniature ribbon connectors. Our strict quality standards
are the key reason why many of the world's largest connector buyers specify
CINCH.
