Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables
FJ-10-D-3.00-4 is a kind of flat flex, ribbon jumper cable manufactured for various electronic and electrical applications. It is also known as a flying jumper, due to its ability to quickly and easily connect two electronic components or circuits. The cable is typically made of stranded conductor, insulated with a hard or insulated surface housing, and can be woven together with other ribbon cables to provide efficient space-versatile connections.
Applications
FJ-10-D-3.00-4 is typically used in printed circuit boards (PCBs) for connecting circuit components, in data and control systems for connecting devices such as sensors and actuators, and for telecommunications or video equipment for linking components. It can also be used in manufacturing, industrial automation and robotics, where it can help tie together various subsystems and reduce wiring complexity. It is a practical solution to the problem of connecting components that are spread across a wide area and in congested spaces, allowing easy and reliable connections.
Working Principle
Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables such as FJ-10-D-3.00-4 are made of conductors insulated with anodized aluminum and protected by a hard surface housing. The conductors are arranged in pairs to form a ribbon cable and connected by soldering on the terminations. This type of connection allows for a reliable electrical connection with low contact resistance. The insulation helps prevents short circuits and accidental contact between adjacent cables. The hard surface of the housing also helps prevent wear or breakage of the cable over time.
The cable also has a pre-applied adhesive backing that helps secure the ribbon cable in place and make installation easier. This type of cable is designed for quick-connect, making it very convenient for time-sensitive applications. The pre-applied adhesive backing also helps to reduce maintenance cost as it helps protect the cable from environmental damage.
Advantages
FJ-10-D-3.00-4 flat flex, ribbon jumper cables offer many advantages. They provide an efficient and reliable connection with low contact resistance. The ribbons are flexible, allowing for easy installation and re-positioning, and are space-efficient. They are also relatively low cost and with their pre-applied adhesive backing, require minimal maintenance. This makes them an ideal cable for many applications.
