100R16-152B

Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

The 100R16–152B is an electronic component that belongs to the family of flat flex, ribbon jumper cables. It\'s used mainly in computing and industrial electronics and it\'s mainly employed for data transmission and power delivery.

Application Field

The 100R16–152B is specially designed in order to provide connectors and cables for applications which require a high transfer rate of data and current with a great flexibility. Compact and easy to install, this type of cable is mostly used in the industrial sector, being especially suitable for installations with cable harnesses and applications which need an exchange for data transmission.

As an example, the flat flex ribbon cables and connectors are widely employed in robotics industry and production lines, as well as in medical applications, data processing boards or automation systems.

Working Principle

The flat flex ribbon cables and connectors are composed of thin and flat copper conductors, arranged parallel with each other. The connections are flexible, which allows the user to handle them without any difficulties during the installation or cable harnessing process.

Normally, the insulation material is made of flexible PVC, which has a reduced thickness when compared to traditional cables, or even a polyimide coating. This type of insulation material also allows a superior flexibility, providing a great comfort during the handling.

The copper conductor sizes for the 100R16–152B range from 2mm x 0.2mm to 5 mm x 0.2mm and they are protected with this layer of insulation. The contact area of each conductor is composed by two parallel parts which are 6 mm long each.

The working voltage of the 100R16–152B is from DC to 150 V. With two connections and a 50 Ω nominal impedance, this type of flat flex cable and connectors are also suitable for low signal transmissions.

Conclusion

The 100R16–152B is a type of flat flex cable and connector that is widely used in computing and industrial electronics. It offers great flexibility when connecting components, including extreme environments, and it also allows data and power transmission with a great efficiency. The thin size and insulation of the cable makes it perfect for difficult to access places with tight spaces.
