Flat flex, Ribbon jumper cables are a special type of electrical cable that is designed to reduce physical bulk and simplify installation. Designated as P/N 0151670590, the product utilizes a flat flex display which gives the cable a much sleeker profile when compared to conventional cables which feature bulky twist connectors. Additionally, its integral clamping mechanism ensures secure and reliable connections in most electrical environments.

Application Field

Flat flex, Ribbon jumper cables are most commonly used in air-conditioning systems, smoke detectors, point-of-sale systems, ATM machines, security systems, networking equipment, and other applications requiring high-volume wiring. These cables are designed for use in applications that require flexibility, reliability, and quick installation for wiring bundles that will not be used to transfer electrical power.

Working Principle

Flat flex, Ribbon jumper cable consists of two flat flexible conductors sandwiched between two layers of insulating material or sheathing, and secured by a clamping mechanism. The flattened conductor is then passed through a standard ribbon cable end connector. This ensures full electrical contact between the conductors, creating a secure connection. The integral clamp is then used to secure the cable to the mounting surface, creating a reliable and stable connection.

These cables also help to eliminate the need for additional wiring and soldering steps when creating connections. The cable contains built-in strain-relief and grounding components which provide a secure connection between the two cables and prevent wear and tear on the conductors. This reduces installation time and allows the settings to remain secure even when placed in extreme conditions.

Flat flex, Ribbon jumper cables are a versatile and low-cost solution for both simple and complex wiring applications. Not only do they reduce physical bulk and simplify installation, but their integral clamping mechanism also ensures secure and reliable connections in most electrical environments. Additionally, their built-in strain relief and grounding components make them ideal for applications where repeated disengagement of the cables is not a preferable option.
