Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables
686710200001 Application Field and Working Principle
Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables have become increasingly popular in industrial and consumer electronics due to their low cost, ease of assembly, and excellent electrical performance. They are used to connect two or more electrical components such as circuit boards, transistors, resistors, or multilayer PCBs together. By using a ribbon of flat conductive material along with insulation, signal or power transmission is easily achieved with a single cable.
Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables offer a number of advantages over traditional wiring methods. First, they are much easier to install since they can simply be snapped into place. This eliminates the time needed to strip wires, solder connections, and secure them to a frame or other structure. Second, these cables are extremely flexible and can be bent in all directions allowing them to be used in tight spaces. Third, Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables require no soldering and are much tougher than traditional wires. Finally, they are typically and UL-listed and are available in various lengths, colors, and configurations.
The 686710200001 series of Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables are used for power supply and signal connections in consumer electronics applications. These cables connect circuits of up to 24V and feature two different insulation options: polyimide or polyethylene terephthalate. They are highly reliable, have a long lifespan, and feature a high-temperature and oil-resistant construction. These cable assemblies are designed with standard 0.1” pin and plug connectors and a flat ribbon of 20 AWG stranded PVC coated copper. They are available in lengths from 0.25” (6mm) to 3.25” (83mm).
The working principle of the 686710200001 Flat Flex Cable is generally quite simple. The conductors within the cable are in contact with each other and form an electrical connection. The insulation on the conductors prevent the transfer of electricity between the outer sheath of the cable and the conductors within the cable, ensuring safe and reliable connections. The standard 0.1” connector on the ends of the cable provide an easy and reliable way of connecting the cable to the components of the circuit.
The 686710200001 Flat Flex Cables are ideal for situations where simplicity and cost are important factors. The cables are easy to install, reliable, durable, and offer excellent electrical performance. They are also UL-listed,come in various lengths, and feature two different insulation options. The 686710200001 series of Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables is an excellent choice for power and signal connections in consumer electronics applications such as circuit boards, transistors, resistors, or multilayer PCBs.
