Flat Flex & Ribbon Jumper Cables

0151680966 Application Field and Working Principle

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables, which are also known as ribbon cables, are a type of electrical cable composed of many insulated wires that are contained side by side in a flat, flexible material. This type of cable is ideal for many applications where the wires need to be strong but flexible, and is commonly used in the engineering of products like laptop computers, dashboards, audio cables and other electronic devices.

The Application of Flat Flex Cable and Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flat flex cables and ribbon jumper cables are typically used in applications where space is an issue and flexibility is required. Their low profile makes them an ideal choice for when space is limited. Common applications include the use of ribbon cables to connect elements of a computer motherboard, which is where flat flex wires come in handy because they are flexible enough to fit into tight spaces, but still robust enough to provide reliable support. This makes them ideal for connecting multiple components that may move or shake, without causing damage to the delicate connections. Flat flex cables can also be used to wire up dynamic instruments, such as free-rewire keyboards, electric guitars, and audio technology, such as dynamic microphones. Ribbon cables are also relatively cheap and normally comply with international standards, such as the IEC 61034 or IEC 61156.

The Working Principle of Flat Flex and Ribbon Jumper Cables

The working principle of a flat flex or ribbon jumper cable is relatively straightforward. The individual wires within the cable are typically made of copper, and are insulated by an electrical dielectric that prevents current from flowing between the wires. Conductive layers support the wires and limit the cable’s inductance. Insulative layers are also used to prevent the cable from shorting out and providing an electrical path from the cable to its environment.The flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are usually connected to component pins via crimp contacts. The contacts are gripped within crimpers, and heat is applied to them using a soldering iron, or other heating technique, such as ultrasonic, laser, or infrared welds. A flat tool also helps remove any insulation that may exist between the crimp contacts and the component pins.

Conclusion

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables offer many advantages that make them ideal for a range of applications where flexible and robust wiring solutions are required. Their ability to provide reliable connections within relatively tight spaces, combined with their cost effectiveness, make them an extremely popular choice when wiring up a range of electronic devices.
