Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables: 3-6437125-6 Application Field and Working Principle

Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables have been put to use in a variety of industries for years. They are ideally suited for many types of electrical and communication applications, including the military, medical, industrial, and consumer products. Flat flexible cables are frequently used in such devices as LCDs, LEDs, printed circuit boards, disk drives, and other devices where minimal space is needed and where bends or kinks are to be avoided. Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables are designed to work in dynamic applications, with extra flexibility and greater protection against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors.

Cable Definition

A Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cable is a cable comprised of a flat strip of jacketing (typically thermoplastic flexible material) with two parallel rows of contacts affixed on one side of the cable. The contacts, which can be welded or cut equally and are in the form of foam tubes or flat strips with conductive material in its center, provide electrically conductive pathways between devices. Contacts may be sealed in the cable on one or both of the sides, depending upon the desired application. These cables are characterized by their flexibility, low profile, and robustness.

Cable Types

Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables are generally divided into several types, depending on the application area. For example, communication cables used in the medical field are known as Patient Monitor Cables; whereas those used in microcontroller applications are called Interface Cables. There are also ribbon cables designed for the military, commercial, and consumer applications.

Application of 3-6437125-6

The particular flat flex, ribbon jumper cable featured in this study is a 3-6437125-6. This cable is used in applications such as automotive, industrial, consumer, and military applications. The cable has been designed for use in a variety of harsh and hazardous Industries, as it is capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, abrasion, radiation, and aggressive fluids. Due to its excellent strength and flexibility, the cable can be used in many areas where space and weight savings are necessary.

Working Principle

The process of transmitting electrical signals via a flat flex, ribbon jumper cable relies on the functionality of its contours and contacts. The contacts of the cable are arranged such that when the cable is bent to the correct shape, the cable’s red, green, and blue contacts make contact with their corresponding contacts on the mating device. This provides the electrical connection needed to power the device or transmit the necessary data. The contacts are designed to border and protect the cable from the environment, while allowing for minimal contact resistance between itself and the mating device. In summary, Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables are a reliable way to transmit data and/or electrical signals in harsh environments. The particular cable highlighted in this study, the 3-6437125-6, is designed to withstand temperatures, radiation, and aggressive fluids. When used with the correct contacts, the cable can be bent to the correct shape and provide the necessary electrical connection for powering a device or transmitting data.
