ribbon cable connectors
Ribbon cable connectors are used in many consumer devices and are the order of the day in the personal computer. While flat cable in the length, width and thickness vary, most of them wedged connections that only the cable to be connected in one orientation. Many of the smallest tape cable not provided with connectors and are by inserting it in a connector connected, usually mounted on the circuit board that you thought in order to connect.
How to Connect Ribbon Cable - ribbon cable connectors
Just check the cable and the plug of the cable should be connected. In many cases the connector of the flat ribbon cable is entered either with one or more holes are in the socket (with a corresponding distance of the pins of the matching male connector), or by an additional "bump out" is added to one side of the connector is locked and a corresponding slot of his buddy cut.Some of the ribbon cable is a rotation in one or more of the wires, and this is a clear indication that the cable be installed special attention must be paid to the end, a connection to the device which Anschluss.
In all cases for all requirements on the cable checked thoroughly itself or the connection piece is recommended. In many cases you pin with a distinctive stripes on the edge of the flat ribbon cable marked where pin one is.
ribbon cable connectors - Align the connector and socket directly. As soon as you have clearly identified, the end of the connector is designed to go where and they have found where a pin is aligned, the lining of the male and female connector is directly is essential. Volume connections must be directly into the host connector can be and any deviation from this you can use the plug lead to crack, the pins are bent.
Usually very little force required to move the cable connector into the mating connector, and if you insert a resistor to the connector tracks drifting into his buddy, it is recommended that you use the cable out of the connector and remove again check both sides of the connection to see if there are any questions.
Note that some of the ribbon cables, in particular, the high-density 80-pin IDE cables to find computers may not only require that particular attention should be paid to make the connector is connected to the connector, but also which device is connected to which Anschluss. In cases such as this, the connections in the rule are clearly identified.
If for any reason, the pin connector bent, a few use needle-nose pliers to straighten the pins. Be careful, these pins in the rule hollow and pressed the pins too hard will destroy them and make it impossible for the cable to connect.
A kind of flat ribbon cables that are commonly found in laptop computers have no connections to the cable itself is mounted. In these meetings, the cable is usually of a Mylar film (or something like that) with the conductor tracks embedded in the cable of the base material. These cables are particularly tricky and both require patience and skill.
To these cables to the appropriate housing, align the tape directly with its connector. Now insert the tape into the connector, make sure that it is not in the track at an angle. Please note that a sharp curve could the cable of the conductivity to affect or to destroy it.
