Working Principle

Flat flex, ribbon jumpers normally work by sending an electrical signal (usually DC) between two parallel contact points on the ribbon cables. The contact points are known as “holes” in the cable, which are spaced apart to accommodate the pieces of wire or cords that run between them. These cables are typically used to connect items within machines or systems that don’t require a more complex wiring harness. They are also often used in short runs to make wiring easier and faster to complete.

When a current is sent through the cable, the positive (polarity) of the current is sent to the first wire, while the negative (ground) is sent to the second wire. This creates a “bridge” between the two wires that allows the current to move between them. Depending on the application, the current may be either constant (DC) or pulsed (AC), but the same principle is followed in both cases.

Flat flex, ribbon jumpers are relatively easy to install and use. They can be cut to size with a pair of scissors or a sharp knife, and then soldered or crimped into place. The flexibility of the cables makes them ideal for areas where traditional wiring harnesses cannot be used, such as a tight space between two components. Flat flex, ribbon jumpers are also resistant to corrosion and physical damage, making them a reliable and long-lasting solution.
