• Automated test and measurement systems
• Component wiring for general electronics

These versatile 686608100001 flat flex ribbon jumper cables can also be used to bridge short circuit interruptions in automotive control systems as well as similar applications.

Working Principle of 686608100001 Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cable

The 686608100001 flat flex ribbon jumper cables operate on a principle of using connecting points that make contact with the spring-loaded, self-aligning contact barriers, to ensure the electrical connections are properly and reliably made.

The flat flex ribbon jumper cables’ terminal blocks make use of two principle contact points; one is an interior screw-type terminal and the other a flexible contact point. The screw-type terminal point on the terminal block is spring-loaded and maintains its position even if there is some slight misalignment with the other end. The flexible contact point on the other end helps to ensure a reliable connection when the cable is connected.

When power is applied to the flat flex ribbon jumper cables, the current is provided to the screw-type contact point on one end of the cable. The current then travels through the cable, and is transmitted to the connecting point on the other end of the ribbon jumper. This connection is mechanically held together by the spring-loaded screw, and is secured in place by the contact barrier on the flexible end. Once connected, the current is able to pass through the cable in both directions, effecting a bridge across the electrical circuit.

Conclusion

The 686608100001 flat flex ribbon jumper cables are an efficient and reliable way to bridge short circuit interruptions and restore the electricity supply quickly and safely. The design combines a spring-loaded, self-aligning contact with a flexible contact point to ensure a safe and reliable connection with minimal effort. The flat flex ribbon jumper cables are an excellent choice for a variety of applications, from automotive control systems to data logging, and can be used in cramped compartmentssuch as industrial control panels.
