Flat Flex

Flat Flex, or sometimes referred to as flat flex ribbon jumper cables, are versatile and cost effective flat cable assemblies consisting of one or more flat flexible conductors uniformly spaced and bound together. Flat flex has a wide variety of applications due to its low overall profile, light-weight construction, small bending radius, and ability to be manufactured with various insulation options. Common applications for flat flex cables include robotics, elevators, sensors, and many more automation and control applications.

Application Field

Flat Flex is an ideal solution for a number of applications, as it is both highly adaptable and economical. The flat ribbon cable comes with many advantages that are beneficial in a variety of contexts. It is versatile, easily routed and adaptable to fit a specific set-up, and can be provided in multiple lengths with various connectors. Flat Flex is often used in automation and control applications but is also suitable for a wide range of environments, including industrial, transportation, automotive, medical, and aerospace. Additionally, Flat Flex is often found in robotics, surveillance, and networking.

Working Principle

Flat Flex is generally composed of a long strip of one or more flexible strands of conductors that are insulated with either PVC or FEP insulation. The insulation layer is uniform, continuous, and usually of consistent thickness along the length of the cable. The uniformity allows the conductors to flex easily on bends, reducing wear and tear on the environment and ensuring a longer operating life of the cable. Conductors are typically surrounded on the exterior with one or more layers of shielding to further protect the flexible part of the cable.

Flat Flex operates as any other cable, using electrical signals via the conductors to send signals that create motor movements and power larger equipment. The Flat Flex’s characteristics such as flexibility, low profile, light weight, and multiple shielding layers, make it suitable for a variety of environment and applications.
