Silicone flat cable
Flexible siliconcoated flat cables prov ide h igh flexibility, low weight, long life, withstand temperatures from –45 to 260°C, and can be shaped to fit very tight spaces.
Common applications
are in military jets for targeting
pods, fuel-control systems, and missile
gimbal and guidance systems.
A proprietary extrusion process
lets multiple wires be placed in a flat
cable, which controls wire spacing,
insulation thickness, and overall cable
shape. This one-piece silicone encapsulation
won’t delaminate or degrade
from vibration or exposure to oils or
chemicals. Custom shaping of the cable
permits routing without folding,
kinking, or pinching, and eliminates
signal failures caused by physical
stress at the cable connector.
The cables come in 4 to 44-awg
wire gauges and are available in continuous
lengths (cable only), or as assemblies,
complete with connectors.
