Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Introduction

Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables, commonly known as FPC (Flat Printed Circuit) cables, are thin and flexible flat cables that are used for connecting miscellaneous electronics. The cables come in various shapes and sizes from a few millimeters wide to over a millimeter. They provide superior electrical performance and high temperature operation in comparison to ribbon cables.

Application Field

Flat flex cables have many applications. They are used in the fields of personal computers, cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, and automotive electronics. They are also used to connect keypads and switches to circuits. In addition, they are used in the medical and military sectors in order to connect sensors, actuators, and other types of electronic components. Furthermore, they are used in manufacturing robots and other industrial machines. They also have good electromagnetic compatibility and are used to provide high speed electrical connectivity between computers and other devices.

Working Principle

Flat flex cables are made from a single piece of a material which typically includes a conductive coating which is printed onto the cable. This allows the electrical current to be conducted and the signal to be transmitted. The conductive coating is typically copper, gold, or an alloy. The printed conductors are then laminated in between two polyester layers which increase the stiffness of the cable and provide electrical insulation and mechanical protection.

The thin and flexible feature of the flat flex ribbon cables allows them to be used for tight bends and small spaces that would be impossible to wire with other types of cables. This is made possible because the wire cores are insulated and protected by the flexible insulating material. Additionally, they are also resistant to humidity, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors that may affect their performance.

Conclusion

Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables are a versatile cable solution that provides flexibility in terms of shape, size, and application. They are able to be used in a wide variety of settings, including personal computers, cell phones, digital cameras, and medical and military applications. In addition, their thin design and small size make them ideal for tight bends and narrow spaces. Furthermore, their durable insulation material and high electrical performance make them suitable for a wide range of applications.
