Custom Ribbon Cable Assembly for Compact Electronics
As a specialized ribbon cable assembly manufacturer, OurPCB delivers flat cable solutions for space-constrained electronic applications. Our cable assembly expertise covers standard IDC ribbon cables, FFC (Flat Flexible Cable), FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), and hybrid round-to-flat transition cables for compact product designs.
Standard ribbon cables offer organized, space-efficient wiring for internal computer connections, drive cables, and control panel wiring. IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) termination enables mass production of consistent assemblies. Our data cable capabilities include ribbon cables with D-sub, card edge, and header connectors for consumer electronics and industrial control applications.
FFC cables provide thin, flexible connections for displays, printers, and portable devices. ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) and LIF (Low Insertion Force) connectors enable easy assembly. Combined with our FPC expertise, we serve applications from LCD panel connections to complex multi-layer flexible circuits with component mounting.
Ribbon cable applications span computer and IT equipment, storage devices, office equipment, display systems, and industrial controls. Our custom cable capabilities include special conductor counts, custom lengths, and strain relief options. Hirose, JST, and other connector brands are available.
Every ribbon cable assembly receives 100% continuity testing to verify all conductors. Our design support team helps select appropriate cable types and connectors for your application. Rapid prototyping enables quick validation before production. Contact us for ribbon cable assembly quotes.
Ribbon Cable FAQ
We manufacture various ribbon cable types including standard multi-conductor ribbon cables, FFC (flat flexible cables), FPC (flexible printed circuits), and hybrid round-to-flat transition cables. Conductor counts range from a few wires to 64+ conductors depending on cable type.
Common ribbon cable connectors include IDC (insulation displacement) for mass termination, D-sub connectors, card edge connectors, pin headers, and ZIF/LIF connectors for FFC/FPC. We can terminate with various connector types based on your requirements.
Yes, we manufacture ribbon cables to custom lengths. Standard ribbon cable can be cut to length and terminated with IDC connectors. FFC/FPC cables are available in various standard and custom lengths depending on the specific product.
FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) uses flat conductors laminated between plastic films - it's flexible and cost-effective for simple connections. FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) uses printed traces on flexible substrate - it can include complex routing, multiple layers, and component mounting.
