As a kind of multi-core cable, flat cable was first used in electronic computers and electronic instruments. Because of its advantages of easy bending and small wiring space, it has also been widely used in civil appliances such as telephones and tape recorders. In order to meet different usage requirements, some new flat cables are being developed continuously. The application of insulation displacement connectors makes the termination of flat cables extremely convenient and reliable. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for geometric dimensions such as the tolerance of the center distance between the lines of the flat cable, the cumulative error of the center distance and the insulation thickness, so that the flat cable can be manufacturing increases the difficulty.
Flat cable is suitable for lifting equipment, cable track, trolley, transmission machinery, elevator, crane, tower crane, telescopic machinery and other mobile electrical power transmission lines and control, lighting, communication channels in special places, and can also be used in closed indoor environments. Connection installation of moving mechanical parts, etc. Compared with round cables, flat cables have the advantages of saving installation space and cost, and in the case of the same number of core wires, their bending radius is smaller than that of round cables.
