Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables (FJH-10-D-02.05-4) have a variety of applications in many industries and fields, and their working principles are quite simple. The flat flexible ribbons consist of multiple conductors that have been assembled in parallel and in a flat, flexible format. These cables are used in applications where a low-profile, flexible connection is required that can be routed around obstacles or engineered into tight spaces.

FJH-10-D-02.05-4 is primarily used in applications that require the transmission of electrical signals. Examples of these applications range from sensor input/output, interconnections between printed circuit boards, LED illumination, flexible/wearable electronic devices, avionics, and medical device communication. The flattened and flexible conductors allow the flat flex to be routed in interesting ways, easier and faster than a standard populated or strain relieved cable. Additionally, flat flex ribbon jumpers are better suited for more robust applications due to their shielded construction.

The basic working principle of FJH-10-D-02.05-4 is straightforward. The conductor carries electrical current from one point to another. The current passes from the positive pole to the negative pole, either consecutively or in parallel as per the requirements of the particular application.

Flat flex ribbon conductors come in many configurations, from multi-conductor cable to individual strands. The number of conductors, the thickness of the material, the type of conductor insulation, the type of dielectric material used, and other factors can all affect the performance and functionality of the flat flex.

One of the most important factors to consider when designing with FJH-10-D-02.05-4 is the flexibility that the material offers. The flatter and more flexible the ribbon, the easier and faster it will be to route the cable around obstacles and through tight spaces and areas that are difficult to access with a standard cable.

The conductors are typically insulated with either PVC or polyurethane jackets. The insulation not only helps protect the conductors from short-circuiting, it also serves to minimize crosstalk between the conductors. Additionally, the insulation provides additional strain relief, which helps prevent damage to the conductors due to kinks or bends.

The jacket of the flat flex can also vary, from standard PVC material to polyurethane and PTFE (Teflon). These jackets not only provide additional protection for the conductor, they also provide a more durable outer shell than standard cable constructions. This can provide additional ruggedness to the cable and make it better suited to harsh environments or industrial applications.

FJH-10-D-02.05-4 flat flex ribbon jumpers are a versatile and reliable way to interconnect points in many different applications. The flexible ribbon allows the cable to be routed around obstacles or engineered into tight spaces, and the shielded construction offers improved performance and durability. The combination of the jacket material and the conductor insulation helps protect the cables from damage and interference, and makes them better suited for long-term use in industrial and other harsh environments.
