Flat Flex Cables

Flat flex cables are in wide use in industrial applications including robotics, assembly lines, and electrical connections. The flat flex cable is made up of flexible flat insulation that is surrounded by an array of conductive strips which interconnect to form the contact points.

The flexibility of the flat insulation allows for connections to be made over distances and around obstacles, with the flat design lending itself more to the creation of courser connections than would be possible with a bundle of standard electrical wires. Flat flex cables are also light and malleable and can be inserted or removed from connections without any strain being placed on the connection point.

Flat flex cables are used in a variety of industrial applications, ranging from the automotive industry, where they are used to connect accelerometers and other shift solenoids, to robotics, where they are used to create linear motion.

The flexibility of the flat flex cable combined with its light weight and malleability makes it a popular choice for use in industrial applications.

Ribbon Jumper Cables

Ribbon jumper cables are used in a number of different applications, from consumer electronics to industrial environments. Ribbon jumper cables are generally used for making connections between components such as sensors, motors and other electrical components.

Ribbon jumper cables are similar in shape and size to flat flex cables, but instead consist of a strip of conductive material and a sheath of insulation which surrounds it. The conductive material is typically composed of copper, which ensures a high level of conductivity and reliability.

The flexibility of the ribbon jumper cable allows for it to be draped or wiggled into awkward positions, allowing connections to be made in tight spaces. They are also light weight and malleable and can be inserted or removed from connections without any strain being placed on the connection point.

Ribbon jumper cables are commonly used in consumer electronics, such as in DVD players and other audio/visual equipment, as they provide a reliable and low-noise connection to the components. Ribbon jumper cables are also a popular choice for use in automated assembly applications, as they are light and can be draped without strain.
