Product description
Ribbon cable (flat cable) with 1.27 mm conductor pitch. A flexible solution for internal connections between printed circuit boards (PCBs) in embedded electronic systems. The ribbon cable can easily be split lengthwise if a narrower cable with fewer conductors is desired.
Specifications:
- Number of conductors: 40
- Conductor size: 28 AWG (0.08mm²)
- Pitch: 1.27 mm (0.05") between conductors
- Rated voltage: 300 V
- Full reel length: 30 m (100 ft)
- Construction: Parallel, flat copper conductors (Cu) with PVC insulation
- Color coding: Gray ribbon cable with one red-marked edge conductor
- Flexibility: Easy to bend and adapt during installation
- Connections: Designed for IDC connectors (Insulation Displacement Connector)
- Standard: UL 2651
- Operating temperature: -20 to 105 °C
Typical applications:
- Board-to-board connections
- Internal wiring in instruments, computers, and communication equipment
- Connection to connectors with 1.27 mm pitch
IDC is an abbreviation for Insulation-Displacement Connector. An IDC connector is designed to cut through the cable insulation and establish an electrical connection with the conductor without the need to strip the cable. This makes it well suited for the rapid assembly of ribbon cables (flat cables). IDC connectors are often used as internal connections between different printed circuit boards (PCBs), where many conductors need to be connected quickly and reliably.
