FFMD-05-S-10.00-01

Rectangular Cable Assemblies

The FFMD-05-S-10.00-01 is a type of rectangular cable assembly. As a type of electronic interconnecting system, they allow for joining or terminating cable with connector. Heat shrinkable molded cable assemblies widely used when it is necessary to join and/or terminate multiwire cables via a common receptacle, and have the feature of low assembly cost. This allows for a rapid, economical and reliable connection for wires and cables and for joining them to equipment, appliances or any other electronic device.

Application Field

The application of these assemblies includes all types of machinery such as medical apparatus, communications and alarms, telecommunication networks, music instruments, home appliances, computers, automotive, industrial control, security systems, lighting, instruments, etc. It can be applied to a variety of industries, including the automotive, consumer electronics, medical, industrial, security, renewable energy and aerospace markets, to name a few.

Working Principle

The rectangular cable assembly works by joining or terminating cables to a connector, with a solderless termination system. Heat shrinkable connectors provide a reliable solution for multiwire terminated cables and structures. The principle is simple and effective; it requires the installation of the cable into a tunnel formed by the heat shrinkable connector, the insertion of the wires into the respective pins of the plug and the application of heat. The heat shrinks the connector which tensions the pins, thereby creating a reliable and watertight connection.

In addition, rectangular cable assemblies require the use of a special tool – a crimping tool – for installing the rectangular connectors on the female end of the assembly. Crimping involves compressing the flat cross section of a round cable into the contact shoulder of the terminal. The result is an electrical connection with continuity and good electrical characteristics.

Conclusion

The FFMD-05-S-10.00-01 is a type of rectangular cable assembly, which offers reliable and low-cost connections for joining and/or terminating multiwire cables. It has important applications in various industries, such as the automotive, consumer electronics, medical, industrial, renewable energy, and aerospace markets.
