Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flat flex, Ribbon jumper cables are built from flat or semi-rigid insulation material. The insulation material normally used for this type of cable is polyester, mylar, or a combination of both.Typically, a flat flex cable consists of a single conductor or multiple conductors and a PVC insulation material that is split longitudinally, so that it has two parts that can be separated or rejoined, depending on the application and company’s requirements.The contacts at the ends of the cable are typically metallized and designed in either an injection molded arrangement, or a die-cast metal to reduce resistance for electrical connections. Depending on the application, copper may also be used as a conductor material.

Application field

Flat flex, Ribbon jumper cables are typically found in industrial and medical applications. Industrial applications include generator controls, alarm systems, relay switches, motor schematics, etc. The medical field also utilizes flat flex cable for a variety of device applications, such as medical instrumentation, pacemakers, and imaging equipment.

Working Principle

Flat flex cable works on a simple principle. The cable consists of a conductor that is either a single solid conductor, or multiple solid conductors that are insulated by a thin insulation material. The conductors are usually metallized to reduce resistance for electrical connections. Depending on the application and company’s requirements, copper may also be used as a conductor material.

The electrical connections are made by wrapping the uninsulated ends of the conductors around the metal contacts. This makes the connection secure and prevents any accidental contact with other conductors. The flexible insulation material prevents short circuits and provides strain relief.

Flat flex cables are used in a wide variety of applications. In industrial applications, they are used to make connections between switchgear, motors, relays, and other electrical components. Medical applications include pacemakers, imaging equipment, and other medical instrumentation.
