Board-to-board interconnect: flat cables in the move Flat does not mean static. This is what the manufacturer of interconnect solutions Axon’ Cable will prove at Electronica with a 3D printing machine equipped with flat flexible cables. These links have been specially designed to follow the movements produced by the print heads or other electronics devices. Meet us on booth 117, hall B3 at Electronica from 8th to 11th November 2016. More and more dynamic applications From several hundreds of flexes to tens of millions for laboratory automation systems, the range of flat flexible cables designed by Axon’ meet the challenges of any type of dynamic applications. As an example, the shielded flat cable which equips the 3D printer shown on Axon’ booth is able to withstand 180 000 flex cycles for a bend radius of 17 mm. This is nothing compared to extra-flexible flat cables (up to 5 million cycles) and ultra-flexible flat cables made by Axon’ and which can withstand at least 50 million of cycles. From conductor to flat cable Vertical integration! This is what explains performances achieved by flat cables manufactured by Axon’. The group manufactures its own conductors and insulating tapes. Extra-flexible and ultra-flexible flat cables for dynamic applications are respectively made with 35 micron (0.035 mm) thickness and 25 micron (0.025 mm) conductors. Axon’ flat flexible cables are manufactured in 3 production sites in France, Hungary and China. The ultra-modern Hungarian factory which was inaugurated in 2015 is entirely dedicated to the production of flat flexible cables. A large range of products Advantages of flat cables are well known: flexibility, space saving, easy to use. Axon’ offers a large range of products: flat flexible cables with pitches of 0.30 mm, 0.50 mm and 1.00 mm, flat cables with round contacts (RFC) for board-to-board interconnect. High temperature flat cables (125°C ) insulated with polyimide designed for inverters in hybrid cars for example. “Low noise” flat cables for switch rotary connectors (Airbag™ system) can also be mentioned. As an expert in composite cables, Axon’ also offers hybrid flat cables made with round wires designed for applications which require high flexibility including “Pick-and-Place” industries.
