Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are amongst the most popular and widely used electrical components in a range of industrial, consumer, and office electronics applications. These classes of cables have been in use for decades, and are made up of standard off-the-shelf components. In this article, we’ll take a look at their application field, and explain how they work.

Overview

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are generally used to connect separate electrical circuits or components. They usually consist of thin flexible plastic or metal ribbon with an electrical conductor running along the length of the ribbon. The conductor is typically copper or a high-conductivity alloy that increases its durability and flexibility in tight spaces. The ribbon is often protected with a thermoplastic shield to prevent abrasion and wear, and also with an insulating heat shrink-tube or protective tape for additional insulation and strain relief.Flat flex cables are usually designed to provide electrical connections in tight spaces, like an interior of a computer, or between two complex network boards. They are also often used as flexible jumper wires in devices such as cell phones and tablets. Ribbon jumper cables are typically used to connect a row of components, like LED lights, in a project.

General Application

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables can be found in a variety of applications, ranging from consumer electronics to commercial and industrial applications. Their low profile design makes them ideal for devices with tight spaces or in applications where frequent movement occurs. In consumer electronics, these cables are used to connect LCD display screens, cameras, and other components to a main circuit board. They are also commonly used in industrial applications, such as robotics, lighting systems, medical devices, and electrical power distribution.

Specific Application Decisions

When selecting flat flex or ribbon jumper cables for a specific application, there are a few key factors to consider. The most important factor to look at is the conductor material and size. Flat flex cables are typically available in a variety of conductor sizes, ranging from 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) to 30 AWG. The 12AWG and 30 AWG sizes are mainly used in consumer electronics, while 24AWG sizes are mostly used in industrial applications.The second factor to consider is the length of the cable. Ribbon Jumpers can be purchased in a variety of lengths, ranging from a few inches up to several feet. The most common lengths are 6", 8", 10" and 12". When selecting a cable for an application, it\'s important to make sure that the cable is long enough to reach its intended destination, but not so long that it will become a tangled mess.

Working Principle

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables have a simple working principle. These cables are nothing more than a conductor with two or more terminals. When a current is applied to the terminals, a charge is set up in the conductor, which is conducted through the conductor and out the other terminal. This allows for the transfer of electrical energy from one point to another.The most common type of flat flex or ribbon cables are insulated with a thermoplastic shield and a heat-shrinkable insulation tube or protective tape. The thermoplastic shield and insulation serve to protect the conductor from abrasion or wear, while also ensuring proper electrical insulation. The insulation also prevents short circuits, which can be dangerous in certain applications.

Conclusion

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are extremely versatile and reliable components that have been used in a variety of applications for decades. They are ideal for applications where space is limited, or where frequent movement is necessary. They are available in a variety of sizes and lengths, the most common being 6", 8", 10", and 12". They are easy to install and relatively inexpensive, making them a reliable and cost-effective solution for many different electrical applications.
