Foreword Cinch is a leading provider of high-quality interconnect products and custom solutions engineered to meet the harsh environment demands of markets including Aerospace, Defense, 5G/IoT, and Industrial. In today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, the demand for robust and reliable interconnectivity solutions has never been greater. As industries expand into more challenging environments, from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, the need for durable and resilient interconnects has become paramount. Harsh environments present unique challenges that can significantly impact the performance and longevity of interconnect solutions. Extreme temperatures, vibration, moisture, radiation, and particulate contamination are just a few of the adversities these systems must endure. Addressing these challenges requires innovative design, advanced materials, and rigorous testing to ensure reliability and efficiency.
