Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

The FJ-10-D-15.15-4 cable is a member of the family of flat flex ribbon jumper cables. Such cables are great for applications requiring wide traces on a wide range of substrates or flexible circuits. The cables are often used in dense applications such as for cell phones, computers, medical devices, and robotics.

These cables consist of a thin insulated strands of flexible copper or other conductive material which are either separated by a thin film insulator or bonded between them. This film insulator serves to form electrical and mechanical isolation between the individual conductors, eliminating any possibility of shorts or crosstalk between the conductors. The cables are usually made of a polyimide or polyester insulation, which features a high degree of resistance to thermal, chemical, and electrical stress.

Application Field

Because of their properties, FJ-10-D-15.15-4 cables are well-suited for use in a variety of industries such as in automotive, aerospace, and communication systems. These cables are also used in the medical, home automation and security systems, consumer electronics, robotics, and consumer products. Typical applications include wire harnesses, vibration-resistant cable assemblies, and solderless jumper cables.

Working Principle

The working principle of the FJ-10-D-15.15-4 cable lies in the fact that it is flexible enough to be able to conform itself to different shapes and sizes. The flexible ribbon cables not only provide electrical isolation between the conductors, but also offer a wide range of electrical performance characteristics. By using different materials and conductor sizes, the cables can be designed for various signal frequencies, signal attenuation, and voltage handling.

The FJ-10-D-15.15-4 cables are designed to handle current up to 10A and voltages up to 500V. These cables also offer reduced product size and weight, pleasing aesthetics for product design, and improved performance and durability in harsh environments. In addition, the cables are resistant to temperatures ranging from -40°C to +260°C.

The flat flex ribbon jumper cables are easy to install and require minimal space for routing due to their flexibility. Moreover, because they can be easily cut to the desired length and formed into a variety of shapes, they are very versatile and easy to work with.
