Flat Flexible Ribbon Jumpers are mainly used as interconnection between boards, motors, encoders, servo drives or other electric machines or devices. Their main areas of application include the aerospace, industrial automation, robotics, medical, consumer electronics, automotive and telecommunications industries.

Working Principle

Flat Flexible Ribbon Jumper cables are constructed from metal or plastic alloy strips. They are made in a variety of lengths and sizes depending on the application. The metal strip is coated with an insulating gel or epoxy to protect it from corrosion and to reduce the chance of short circuits. They come with a variety of connectors such as ribbon adaptors, mini jumper clips, ribbon-to-board adaptors, D-sub or mini-D plugs, or other styles depending on the application. They are also available with waterproof connectors for outdoor applications.

When the jumper is connected, the insulating material on the strip flexes to allow for a reliable electrical connection. This also help to prevent any electrical shorts caused by inter-wire vibrations and other factors. The flat flexible nature of the ribbon jumper also helps prevent cable clutter due to the flat profile.

Ribbon jumper cables are typically used in low-voltage applications but they can also be designed for high-voltage applications. The electrical current that they are able to transfer depends on their resistance, which can range from extremely high for high-voltage applications such as industrial automation, to low resistance for low-voltage applications such as consumer electronics or telecommunications.

Conclusion

Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables are a versatile and reliable way to connect components securely in a variety of applications. Their flat and flexible design helps reduce clutter and makes them ideal for tight spaces. With a variety of connector options, they can be configured to meet the needs of any application.
