Main Applications of Flat Ribbon Cable

Flat ribbon cable assemblies terminate into an industry standard insulated displacement contact (IDC) socket. This means that flat ribbon cable is one of the most common cable assemblies on the market today. They are very suitable for common wire-to-board applications in telecommunications, networks, medical equipment, industrial control systems, military applications, gaming, and a range of other applications.

Round Ribbon Cable

Round ribbon cable is a type of ribbon cable distinguished by its shape. Ribbon cables are usually consist of a set of wires lying side by side, usually each wire is a different color to help distinguish them. Round ribbon cables have the same principle, but these wires are folded or braided to fit into a jacket and only flattened out at the end of the cable only when it needs to be terminated What are round ribbon cables used...

Raspberry Pi GPIO Cable

The 40 pin ribbon cable male to female raspberry pi gpio cable is rainbow, and its length is about 20 cm / 8 inch. Multistrand Tin copper conductors, insulated with special PVC compound & multicolour cores bounded together to form the raspberry pi gpio extension cable. The raspberry pi 3 gpio cable is used for low-voltage power supply and signal transmission such as electronic circuits, instruments, elevators, etc. Also known as multi-wire planar cable, flat ribbon cables have many conductor wires running parallel to each...

Ribbon Cable Current Capacity And Limits

Owing to their high surface-to-volume ratio, the heat dissipation performance of the flat ribbon cable is better than that of the round multi-conductor cable. The side-by-side conductor geometry provides almost the same good heat dissipation from each wire with none buried in the center of a bundle of other hot conductors. Consequently, They can maintain a high current level under a given temperature rise and wire cross section. Further, The total number of conductors of a flat cable has...

Flat Ribbon Cable Benefits

Benefits of Flat Ribbon Cable Small, Flat, and Flexible: This makes them best suited for areas with limited space or compartment. They can bend or fold to fit in narrow areas. Also, custom projects with power inlets will need a significant level of flexible cables. Therefore, the flat ribbon cable is the best match. Easily Adjustable: With the flat ribbon cable, you can easily adjust the cable to fit the connection of the device. In addition, it has hand-pressed insulation perforations during...

40 Pin GPIO Male to Female Ribbon Cable

40 pin GPIO male to female ribbon cable for connection raspberry Pi 3 2 Model B B+ w/ 3.5/5 inch TFT rouch screen LCD display. The 40 pin GPIO cable is rainbow, and its length is about 20 cm / 8 inch. We use high-quantity copper soft wire material for safe and durable. The 40 pin male to female ribbon cable raspberry pi gpio jumper wires can be separated to form an assembly wires to support non-standard odd-spaced headers to complete...

Color Coded Ribbon Cable

Color Coded Ribbon Cable Color coded ribbon cable, also known as a rainbow ribbon cable or multicolor ribbon cable , uses repeated color patterns as conductor identification. This pattern usually uses industry standard resistor color codes, where brown is used for conductors and pins 1, 11 and 21, and red is used for conductors and pins 2, 12 and 22, etc. Color-coded ribbon cables can be composed of insulated wires that are pulled parallel to each other, or they can be...

Flat Ribbon Cable Specifications

Flat Ribbon Cable Specifications Flat ribbon cables are usually represented by two numbers: the spacing or spacing of flat ribbon cable conductors, and the number of conductors or ways. A pitch of 0.050 inches is the most common pitch, but there are also finer and courser pitch cables, from 0.025 inches to 0.156 inches, and the pitch is customized according to the specific application. In some portable electronic devices, you can find cables with pitches as low as 0.3 mm.   Due...

Ribbon Cable Connectors

Types of Ribbon Cable Connectors/Ribbon Cable Socket There are various types of ribbon cables connectors.  The following are the most popular ribbon cable connectors: BT224 Connector BT224 connectors have their plugs and sockets. Also, they have high-quality gold-plated contacts. In addition, the plugs are equipped long locking levers. This lever serves to lock or unlock the mated connectors.    D-Subminiature Connector The D subminiature connector is a metal shell interface connector. It has five different pin counts and different terminals, and has a wide range...

Ribbon Cable Types

Ribbon Cable Types Ribbon cables, like other cables, have different ribbon cable types. Therefore, we would consider the five types of ribbon cables, including: Rainbow Ribbon Cable Rainbow ribbon cables are similar to the standard ribbon cables. The rainbow colors help to identify and organize easily. Also, similar to the resistor color doing, where brown can be painted on pin 1. It works the same way as the red stripe on one edge of a standard ribbon cable. Twisted Ribbon Cable The twisted pair ribbon...
