Flat flexible cables take components onboard
Hitaltech has expanded its flat flexible cable range with a novel component on flexible cable line, or featuring LEDs and/or other electronic components mounted directly onto a flat flexible cable.
Flexible flat cable with a range of terminations
Hitaltech has a novel range of flexible flat cable combined with round pin terminations achieved by flattening the round, solid copper conductors with a smooth transition from flat to round.
Terminal blocks go with the (re)flow
Hitaltech has developed a new range of terminal blocks and connectors that answer the demands of modern PCB processing techniques.
The flat cable offers flexibility compared with a thick and rigid PCB.
But as well as saving space, these cables eliminate the need for hard wiring between rigid PCBs, thus reducing cost, and also offer high flexibility allowing the cable to be formed into various shapes.
The cables can be customised to meet a customer's Individual needs without the need for expensive tooling.
An electronic circuit design option is also available on request.
The components are mounted and soldered automatically and the cable can be supplied on a reel up to 80 metres long, or to customised precut lengths.
Termination can be by soldering onto solder pads or by IDC connector.
Using round flat round technology, the cable can be terminated directly onto a rigid PCB.
There are also a number of extra options available.
The cable can be overmoulded to increase protection making it suitable for outdoor environments.
To accommodate a multitude of applications the cable can have up to 32 parallel conductors at various pitches.
Two different types of insulation technologies can be used: EFC (extruded flat cable) for simple high volume circuits, or laminated insulation foil for more complex circuits.
