Gerawell flexstrip jumpers are also simple to use, providing connections between PCBs without the need for any wire stripping or preparation. No crimping or cutting is required. They are available with various insulation materials—Nomex, Teflon, polyester and Kapton—for industrial, automotive and military/aerospace applications.
Nomex aramid insulation is offered as an economic material for general purpose applications where a change in direct current resistance due to humidity is not critical. Polyester has less high temperature resistance, but excellent electrical and mechanical properties, and is suitable for use in high humidity applications. Kapton polyimide has excellent mechanical properties, especially at very high temperatures. Teflon fluoropolymer has superior electrical, mechanical and chemical properties for demanding situations and is particularly suitable for applications where there is moisture or changing climatic conditions.
The jumpers can be supplied with between two and 65 conductors, in nine different pitches. Jumper lengths are up to 30 inches, and various pin lengths are available. There is a choice of 15 different terminations on either end. The copper conductors are tin-plated for easy soldering.
