Gerawell offers Flex strip jumpers to provide reliable and high-performance multi-conductor board-to-board connections. These jumpers can be flexed repeatedly without failure, making them an ideal alternative to conventional point-to-point wiring.
A New Standard in Flexibility and Performance
Flex strip jumpers are designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern electronic applications. Their unique flat conductor construction allows them to handle high flexing cycles and resist vibrations, ensuring longevity and durability.
Wide Range of Applications
Flex strip jumpers are versatile and suitable for various applications including:
Computers: Enhancing internal connectivity and reducing failure points.
Handheld Terminals**: Ensuring reliable connections in portable devices.
Barcode Readers: Providing robust and flexible connections.
Printers: Facilitating efficient data transfer within the device.
Consumer Electronics: Improving performance and reliability.
Automotive: Withstanding harsh environments and vibrations.
Industrial Machinery: Ensuring long-lasting connections in demanding conditions.
Household Appliances: Offering durable and cost-effective connectivity solutions.
Diverse Types for Diverse Needs
The Flex strip family includes several types of jumpers tailored for different applications and operating conditions. Despite their variations, all Flex strip jumpers share a flat conductor construction that provides unparalleled flexibility and resistance to vibration and high flexing cycles.
Easy Assembly and Low Installation Costs
Flex strip jumpers are designed for easy assembly and soldering, with no need for crimping or cutting. This simplifies the installation process, reduces labor costs, and minimizes the risk of installation errors. They are compatible with all standard printed circuit boards (PCBs), making them a versatile choice for various applications.
Innovative Construction and Superior Performance
The flat conductor construction of Flex strip jumpers is achieved through a special manufacturing process that involves rolling flat round conductors. This design not only provides high flexibility but also ensures a smooth, notch less transition from the flat conductor to the round contact pin. This guarantees a termination area that is break-proof and stress-free.
Absorbing and Dissipating Vibrations
In electronic devices subjected to strong vibrations, conventional point-to-point wiring can lead to wire fractures, especially at termination points. Flex strip jumpers, with their flat conductor construction, absorb and dissipate vibrations uniformly along their entire length, preventing stress concentration and enhancing the durability of connections.
Versatile Insulation Materials
Flex strip jumpers are available with various insulation materials to meet the specific needs of different applications. The available options include:
– Nomex Aramid: An economical material suitable for general-purpose applications where humidity-induced resistance changes are not critical.
– Polyester: Ideal for high-humidity environments, offering excellent electrical and mechanical properties.
– Kapton Polyimide: Known for its superior mechanical properties, especially at high temperatures.
– Teflon Fluoro polymer: Provides exceptional electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties, making it perfect for applications with moisture or changing climatic conditions.
Customization to Your Needs
Flex strip jumpers can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are available with between two and 65 conductors, in nine different pitches. Jumper lengths can reach up to 30 inches, and various pin lengths are available. With a choice of 15 different terminations on either end and tin-plated copper conductors for easy soldering, these jumpers offer a high degree of customization.
Gerawell’s Flex strip jumpers set a new standard in board-to-board connections with their unparalleled flexibility, durability, and ease of use. Whether for consumer electronics, automotive, industrial machinery, or household appliances, Flex strip jumpers provide a reliable, high-performance solution that can withstand the most demanding conditions. By choosing Flex strip jumpers, you ensure a robust and cost-effective connectivity solution for your electronic devices.
