Product type
Ribbon cables are a type of electrical cable that consists of multiple conductors arranged parallel to each other on a flat, flexible ribbon. They are typically made from copper wire insulated with a plastic material, allowing for a compact and organized wiring solution. Ribbon cables are commonly used in a variety of electronic applications where space is limited and a high number of connections are required.
| Conductor material | Copper |
| Insulation material | PVC or polypropylene |
| Number of conductors | Typically 2 to 64 |
| Conductor gauge | 28 AWG to 16 AWG |
| Cable width | 3mm to 50mm |
| Operating temperature | -20°C to 80°C |
When choosing ribbon cables, consider the number of conductors required for your application and the appropriate gauge for the current load. It is also important to specify the insulation material based on environmental factors such as temperature and exposure to chemicals. Certifications like UL or CSA may be necessary depending on the application, and buyers should request quotes based on the required lengths and quantities.
