H01R 12/77

for flexible printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables or like structures

Introduced: January 2011

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Structural associations of a plurality of mutually-insulated electrical connecting elements, specially adapted for printed circuits, e.g. printed circuit boards [PCB], flat or ribbon cables, or like generally planar structures, e.g. terminal strips, terminal blocks; Coupling devices specially adapted for printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables, or like generally planar structures; Terminals specially adapted for contact with, or insertion into, printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables, or like generally planar structures > Coupling devices > for flexible printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables or like structures

CPC:

Structural associations of a plurality of mutually-insulated electrical connecting elements, specially adapted for printed circuits, e.g. printed circuit boards [PCB], flat or ribbon cables, or like generally planar structures, e.g. terminal strips, terminal blocks; Coupling devices specially adapted for printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables, or like generally planar structures; Terminals specially adapted for contact with, or insertion into, printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables, or like generally planar structures (printed connections to, or between, printed circuits H05K1/11) > Coupling devices > for flexible printed circuits, flat or ribbon cables or like structures

Of 6 combined children, 3 exist in both systems.

3 codes are CPC-only extensions.

IPC defines codes here since 2011.
