Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

• 0210200273 Application Field and Working Principle

  Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables (also known as multifunctional flat wiring or jumberable harnesses) are designed for use with a variety of different application areas. They are most commonly used in industrial machine tool automation, automotive wiring, medical equipment, and telecommunications. The benefits of using flat flex and ribbon jumper cables include flexibility, protection from electromagnetic interference, improved conductivity, and a reduction in the number of cables used in the system.

  Flat flex cables are designed to be highly flexible and are commonly used in applications where low-frequency signals need to be transferred. Their flexibility and ability to be bent into a variety of shapes make them particularly suited to applications such as robotics where complex motions and flexing are required. They are also used in applications where they must be routed in tight spaces, such as between boards or around components.

  Ribbon jumper cables are mainly used in applications where multiple signals need to be transmitted in a compact space. They are particularly useful in applications such as computer and television wiring where space is limited. Ribbon cables also have the advantage of being more resistant to electromagnetic interference.

  The basic functioning of both flat flex and ribbon jumper cables require a connection between two conductors using a jumper wire or cable. A jumper cable usually consists of a central wire or conductor, with insulating material such as rubber or plastic wrap surrounding it, and multiple strands or wires that are connected to each other electrically. The conductors of the cable are then attached to the jumper wire or cable, either using a soldering technique, a crimp connector, or a wire nut.

  Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables can be used in various applications for transmitting low-frequency and high-frequency signals. Their flexibility and resistance to electromagnetic interference make them ideal for use in many industries, from consumer electronics to medical equipment and robotics. By using a combination of flat flex and ribbon jumper cables, you can ensure that your electrical circuits have the best signal transfer possible.
