FFC- Flat Flexible Cables: AXOJUMPTM Designed for board-to-board interconnections, AXOJUMPTM standard Flat Flexible Cables are made up of flat conductors insulated with Polyester or Polyimide tapes (from 0.30 mm to 1.25 mm pitch). AXON’ has developed a wide range of custom designed Flat Flexible Cables incorporating folds, shields, notches, punching, slitting and marking. The termination of Flat Flexible Cables is made either: - with ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) / LIF (Low Insertion Force) connectors: the cables are equipped with reinforcement tape to strengthen the ends, - by soldering. FLAT...

Packaging Each container is marked with the following: - AXON’CABLE. - Reference of the product. - Batch number. - Quantity. Production AXOJUMP™ Flat Flexible Cables are manufactured in AXON’s production sites in Europe and Asia, using state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment. AXON’ specialises in FFC manufacturing ranging from wire drawing, plating and rolling of conductors to insulation, final cutting and shielding. Conductor manufacturing AXON’ manufactures its own flat conductors. The main materials used are: - Bare copper, - Tin alloy plated copper, - Gold plated copper. AXON’s...

Quality assurance AXON’ is accredited to: > ISO 9001, > IATF 16949, > ISO 14001, > EN 9100, > ISO 13485, > ISO 45001. AXON’s continuous improvement plan called "SOLON" is based on the EFQM model (European Foundation for Quality Management). In addition to in-line controls throughout the manufacturing area, AXON’ applies "Statistical Process Control” methods (SPC) as well as standard problem solving and continuous improvement methods. TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is applied in order to improve productivity. AXON’ conforms to the latest RoHS European Directives and REACH regulation....

Connection with connectors Connection with connectors AXON' offers flat cables for connectors with a locking system. Specially punched FFC's maximise stability. Used with a robust housing, it prevents warping. AXON' flat cables are designed for LIF (Low Insertion Force) or ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connectors from most connector manufacturers. Connection with crimped contacts 1.27 and 2.54 mm pitch FFC’s can be terminated with crimped contacts or provided ready for crimping. Connection with soldering Reflow soldering is suited for termination of flat cables to printed circuit boards. AXON’...

Shielding expertise AXON’ offers shielded flat cables with aluminium tape. The company is able to ground one or several conductors to the shield (same voltage level and EMI performance). Measurement of the shield resistance To characterize the shielding of flat or round cables, AXON’ uses the “Transfer Impedance ZT” parameters, expressed in ohms/m. As this notion depends on the type of product, rather than on the application, it is better suited to accurately characterize shielding performance than the alternative notion of “shielding efficiency”, given in dB. The connection between the...

Flex-life The flex-life of AXON’ FFC’s depends on the choice of conductor/insulation tape combination. To meet the different requirements of flex life in dynamic applications, AXON’ offers a range of FFC’s to withstand an increasing number of flex cycles. The sample is fitted between two plates. The bottom plate slides back and forth and the top one remains still. The cycle is repeated until the first conductor breaks. The performance of our cables are defined in the datasheets in this brochure. |_FLEX-LIFE TEST cables interconnect © 2009 - AXON'CABLE - RELEASED SEPTEMBER 2020 / G FLAT...

Gold plated Flat Flexible Cables Tin plated Flat Flexible Cables AXON’ offers flat cables with a fine gold coating over nickel on the stripped ends. Gold coating guarantees the absence of tin whiskers. Whiskers are filaments or knots which can grow from metal such as tin after several months, with the risk of producing short circuits between fine pitch conductors. AXON’ can offer stripped gold plated flat cables in different pitches compatible with a large range of gold contact connectors. AXON' offers tin plated conductors using tin alloy to reduce whiskers risk. These gold plated cables...
