Overview of the 12-Pin IDC Connector Flat Ribbon Cable

Technological advancements have led to the creation of more sophisticated and efficient devices. Today’s laptops are smaller yet more powerful than those from previous years, thanks in part to innovations in various components. Among these innovations are flat ribbon cables, which play a significant role in shaping the tech industry.

The 12-pin flat ribbon cable is commonly used in computer cabling, medical devices, gaming equipment, and more. Its design allows it to fit easily into confined spaces, making it a preferred choice for many applications. Let’s explore this cable in more detail.

Characteristics of a 12 Pin Flat Ribbon Cable

While a 12-pin ribbon cable may resemble other flat ribbon cables, it possesses distinct features that set it apart. Here are some specific characteristics of the 12-pin ribbon cable:

  • The cable is gray with a red side.
  • A 12-pin flat ribbon cable has an IDC connector with a pin pitch of 1.27mm, 2mm, and 2.54mm.
  • This cable has a plastic insulating material
  • It can withstand a current voltage of up to 300V
  • The ribbon cable has a contact resistance of about15mΩ
  • It can work best at a temperature up to 1050C
  • The ribbon commonly measures 7.6mm wide and 20cm in length.
All 12-pin IDC cables must meet UL 2651 certification and be RoHS compliant, ensuring their safety for both users and the environment. Common applications for 12-pin flat ribbon cables include electrical appliances, data and communication devices, LCD TV panels, DVD players, gaming equipment, hard drives, backlight panels, LED displays, medical equipment, various industrial devices, and cabling in electronic enclosures, among others.

A 12-pin ribbon cable is constructed with three main components that ensure its efficient functionality: connectors at both ends, copper conductors, and insulation. Each of these components plays a crucial role in the cable's performance, contributing to its benefits, such as:

  • The cable boasts high conductivity, as copper is an excellent conductor with low resistance, enabling efficient power transmission.
  • A plastic insulation, typically PVC, covers the 12-pin flat cable, providing high thermal resistance (up to 105°C) and protection against harsh environmental conditions, moisture, abrasion, and oil.
  • The conductors are well-separated by the insulating material, preventing any risk of contact that could lead to short circuits.
  • The IDC 12-pin connector flat ribbon cable is highly flexible, allowing it to be easily folded without damage, thanks to the design of both the copper conductors and insulation.
