FJH-20-D-05.75-4

Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables are a type of electrical cable comprising flat or flexible plastic insulated wires. They are commonly used in instances where wires must maximize flexibility and portability. Flat Flex cables, such as the FJH-20-D-05.75-4, are especially suitable for tight spaces and require little maintenance.

Application Field

Flat Flex jumper cables like the FJH-20-D-05.75-4 are commonly used in several industries, particularly in industrial and consumer electronics. Often, they are used for short runs between PCBs and components, providing flexibility and portability over regular round cables. Typical applications include portable computers, digital cameras, headphone cables, bluetooth devices, cellphones, and many other consumer electronics and medical instruments.

Thanks to their flexibility and durability, Flat Flex ribbon cables are also used in numerous industrial applications and have been around for some time. For instance, FJH-20-D-05.75-4 cables are used in HVAC units, automotive electronic systems, home appliances, lighting systems, and several other heavy and specialized machinery. Additionally, ribbon cables are often employed in automated manufacturing systems, robots, and data centers.

Due to their physical properties, Flat Flex cables are also ideal for complex installations, as they can be bent and maneuvered in tight spaces. These cables can be used to improve air flow and reduce clutter in high-temperature environments. Moreover, their installation is simple and fast, which leads to a lower installation cost.

Working Principle

Flat Flex cables work on the same principle as regular round cables, but with some notable differences. These cables are constructed with parallel insulated wires, which are shielded or unshielded. Unshielded Flat Flex cables are often used in consumer electronics, while shielded cables provide better protection against dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

The individual insulated wires of Flat Flex cables are protected with a flexible thin coating. This coating provides the cables with increased mechanical and environmental protection, while still allowing for flexibility and portability. Additionally, it provides a better protection than regular round cables, which are vulnerable to wear and tear.

In terms of electrical performance, Flat Flex cables are quite similar to round cables. Thanks to their flat design, they are able to convey currents up to 11A. These cables offer a higher resistance to corrosion and oxidation compared to round cables, and are also less prone to vibration. Moreover, cables with parallel conductors tend to reduce crosstalk better than round cables.

Overall, Flat Flex jumper cables, such as the FJH-20-D-05.75-4, provide a great solution for a variety of applications where flexibility and portability are essential. From consumer electronics, to commercial and industrial applications, these cables provide an efficient and cost-effective solution.
