Flat flex cable assemblies, also known as ribbon jumper cables, are flexible cables that provide a practical solution to interconnect many different types of electronic components. Assemblies can be used in all types of electrical and electronic applications and are ideal for providing both low-profile and space-saving options in areas where high-density wiring is required.

0151670619 flat flex cables are constructed from individual conductors that are pre-defined and then secured into place using a spring-action assembly. Each conductor is individually soldered, with each conductor having its own connector, allowing for up to five hundred times the number of contacts. The contacts are then connected to a header assembly, which provides a secure and reliable connection.

Most flat flex cables are available with a range of different connector styles including, but not limited to, needle nose, round pin, solderless and non-insulated. Depending on the application, there are also various types of jacketing available, with either high-temperature insulation or heat-shrink tubing providing additional protection. Other features of flat flex cables include tiny conductors that are packed tightly together to provide the maximum conductivity and flexibility, as well as protection from environmental conditions such as moisture and vibration.

The working principle of flat flex technology is based on the transmission of signals through a flexible, tightly-wound conductor. As each wire of the conductor is individually connected, a high quality signal is sent over the system. The frequency response of this type of cabling is typically very low, allowing for greater power efficiency and higher signal accuracy.

In addition to the standard flat flex cable assemblies, there are several adjustable cables available with different contact configurations for specific requirements. These cables are adjustable in length, allowing shorter or longer conductor lengths for specific applications. They are also adjustable in terms of their resistance rating, allowing for greater flexibility in terms of signal quality and response time.

Flat flex cables are ideal for applications such as wire harness systems, robotics integration, process control, audio and video signal processing, data transmission, and instrumentation systems. Many of these cables are also used in the gaming industry to provide reliable connections between controllers, memory cards, and other parts of the gaming machine. With their flexibility and durability, flat flex cables provide a great alternative to more traditional cable assemblies, making them a popular choice for a wide variety of applications.
