Flat Ribbon Cable with IDC Socket Connector

Features

 Flat and Neat Cable Structure

The flat ribbon cable keeps all conductors arranged in parallel, making the wiring neat, compact, and easy to install inside equipment.

IDC Crimping Connection

The IDC termination process allows fast and stable assembly without individual wire stripping or soldering, improving production efficiency.

Customizable Pin Count and Cable Length

The product can be customized according to customer requirements, including:

• Number of pins

• Cable length

• Cable pitch

• Connector direction

• Label marking

• Wire color

• Red edge marking for Pin 1 identification

Suitable for Multi-signal Transmission

It is mainly used for low-current signal transmission, control signals, data connection, and board-level interconnection.

Space-saving Design

Compared with round multi-core cable assemblies, flat ribbon cables take up less space and are easier to route in compact equipment.

Keyed Connector Design

The IDC connector can include a polarization key or locking structure to reduce the risk of incorrect insertion.

Stable and Reliable Connection

The cable can be tested for continuity, short circuit, mis-wiring, and contact reliability before shipment.

Applications

Industrial Control Equipment

Used inside PLC modules, I/O modules, controllers, drives, and control boards.

Automation Equipment

Suitable for internal signal connection in automation machines, production equipment, and inspection systems.

Electronic Instruments

Used in testing equipment, measuring instruments, laboratory devices, and electronic control units.

Display and Panel Connection

Used between display modules, keypads, control panels, and main circuit boards.

Communication Equipment

Suitable for routers, switches, communication modules, and industrial communication devices.

Machine Vision Equipment

Can be used for internal control signal wiring in industrial cameras, code readers, and inspection devices.

Other Available Types

1. IDC Socket to IDC Socket Ribbon Cable

Both ends use IDC socket connectors. Commonly used for board-to-board connection.

2. IDC to D-SUB Cable Assembly

One end uses an IDC connector, and the other end uses a D-SUB connector. Suitable for industrial control and communication interfaces.

3. IDC to Open End Cable

One end is an IDC connector, and the other end is stripped, tinned, or terminated with other contacts.

4. IDC to JST / Molex Cable Assembly

One end uses an IDC connector, and the other end uses JST, Molex, or other small terminal connectors.

5. Rainbow Ribbon Cable Assembly

Uses different colored wires for easier wire identification and maintenance.

6. Grey Ribbon Cable with Red Edge

A common IDC ribbon cable type. The red edge is used to identify Pin 1.

7. Shielded Flat Ribbon Cable

Includes shielding for better protection against electromagnetic interference in sensitive signal applications.
