Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

0152680720 application field and working principle

Flat Flex cables (also known as ribbon flat cables, flexible flat cables, or FFC cables) are a type of electrical cable that is composed of multiple thin flat electrical conductors, typically arranged in parallel with each other and with thin insulation material between them. They are commonly used where space is limited, like in consumer electronics. Ribbon jumper cables are similar to flat flex cables, except they are of a thicker gauge and feature a wide range of male and female connectors instead of bare leads.

Application Fields

Flat flex cables are widely used in consumer electronic goods as a reliable connector for small components. Applications include computer peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and external hard drives, as well as consumer audio/visual equipment such as mp3 players, TV sets, and cameras. They are also used in automotive and aviation systems.

Ribbon jumper cables are typically used in wiring harnesses for panel connections in control cabinets and junction boxes for industrial, domestic, and commercial applications. They offer an efficient way of connecting a large number of wires in a neat and organized manner.

Working Principle

Flat flex cables are made up of a flat array of conductors, typically arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. The conductors are insulated from one another by thin layers of insulation material, and each conductor is electrically connected to the others by binding them together at one end. At the other end, each conductor is exposed to make contact with its respective connector, which is then connected to the device.

Ribbon jumper cables are made using a thicker gauge of conductor than flat flex cables. Each conductor is insulated except at the ends, where they are connected to a wide variety of male and female connectors. These connectors are then connected to the respective device.

Conclusion

Flat flex cables and ribbon jumper cables are efficient, reliable connectors for applications in a variety of industries and fields. Flat flex cables are mostly used in consumer electronics, whereas ribbon jumper cables are more suitable for panel connections in control cabinets and junction boxes. Both technologies offer an efficient way of connecting a large number of wires in a neat and organized manner.
