Sub-C Vacuum Ribbon Cables

Subminiature-C Vacuum Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies

Connector to Cable: UHV Kapton flat ribbon cable assemblies are fitted with PEEK subminiature-C female or male connectors at one end, and nine, non-terminated, color-coded Kapton® insulated wires at the other.  

The female cable connectors mate directly onto the vacuum-side of subminiature-C UHV feedthroughs, sub-c HV feedthroughs, or with male in-vacuum cable connectors.  

The PEEK cable weave is made with a nominal diameter of 0.14 inches. The nine wires are Kapton® insulated 28 AWG silver-plated copper conductors, stranded 7 x 0.005.

Connector to Connector Extension Cables are fitted with PEEK subminiature-C female connectors on both ends of a 19-inch UHV Kapton insulated flat ribbon cable.

Contact to Cable: UHV ribbon cable assemblies include crimped male or female contacts on one end, and nine, non-terminated, Kapton^® insulated leads at the other.
Caution: 'contact to cable' assemblies do not include PEEK connectors and will not allow subsequent connector installation, as wires must be threaded through connector back-piece before crimping contacts.
