Axojump(R) FLAT FLEXIBLE CABLES c AXOJUMP(R) Flat Flexible Cables consist of flat tin plated copper conductors insulated between Polyester based tapes. Depending on the type of interconnection used, reinforcement tapes can be added to the cable ends to allow for connector compatibility. FLAT FLEXIBLE CABLES TYPE OF END DIFFERENT TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT ARE POSSIBLE : * Standard Polyester reinforcement tapes (blue or red) for termination with connectors * Standard Polyimide reinforcement tapes for hot bar soldering * "Pull-up" reinforcement : transparent adhesive tape, marked "AXON' PULL-UP", used to protect the conductors during shipment. This tape is stuck on the insulated part of the cable over a length of max. 5 mm and can easily be removed before soldering. * "Easy-to-insert" reinforcement : Polyester reinforcement tape which is only partially stuck on the cable length to ease handling. * Pre-stripping : a small part of insulation remains in place on the conductor to protect it during transport. The overlapping length of insulation on the conductor is approximately 1 mm. Pre-stripping is only possible with insulation type T.

The company is approved to several international standards including ISO 9001 and the quality Department ensures that standards are constantly maintained. Internationally recognised programmes and methods such as "Statistical Process Control" and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) are applied throughout our manufacturing area in order to improve productivity.

MANUFACTURING MANUFACTURING AXOJUMP(R) Flat Flexible Cable is manufactured by AXON' using the ultimate in high performance mass production technology : AXON' constantly monitors every aspect of production from the wire drawing, tin plating and rolling of conductors through to the application of insulation, final cutting, inspection and packing. TYPICAL SHAPE OF THE TRANSFER IMPEDANCE of an AXOJUMP(R) flat cable. SHIELDING zT (ohm/m) To characterise the shielding of their flat or round cables AXON' use the parameter of "Transfer Impedance" zT given in ohms/m. As this notion is dependant on the type of product, rather than on the application, it is better suited than the alternative notion of "Shielding Efficiency", given in dB, for accurately defining shield specifications. AXON's is equipped with comprehensive test benches to characterise transfer impedance of round and flat cables as well as harnesses. The flat cables are generally measured using a micro strip or strip line . For the shielding of AXOJUMP(R) flat cables, the best compromise between good electromagnetic protection, light weight, good flexiblity and a reasonable cost has been achieved with 10 m Aluminium foils which are wrapped around the flat cable to assure 360 coverage. This shield is grounded to one or several conductors by welding .

ADVANTAGES AXOJUMP(R) offers many advantages : * Small dimensions : low profile and narrow width design for higher packaging densities ; * Low cost / high reliability : compatible with ZIF/LIF connectors (Zero/Low Insertion Force) ; * Flexlife : greater flexlife than equivalent PVC products. AXOJUMP(R) FLEXLIFE To respond to the different requirements of flexlife in dynamic applications, AXON' offers a range of FFC to withstand an increasing number of flex cycles. The following table summarises flex tests which have been carried out on a 1.00 mm pitch FFC sample on a bend radius of 5 mm . The sample was fitted between two plates, the bottom plate and the top plate fixed. Flexing is repeated until one conductor breaks.
