Subminiature-C Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies

Subminiature-C UHV Ribbon Cable Assemblies

AGP vacuum compatible connector-to-cable ribbon cable assemblies, fitted with PEEK Subminiature-C female connectors on one end, and nine non-terminated leads at opposite end are available in both 19 and 39-inch lengths. These female connectors mate directly to the vacuum side of AGP subminiature-C UHV and HV feedthroughs, and/or with other PEEK male connector fitted extension cables. Cables are woven into ribbon form using PEEK monofilament to produce a .41 wide and .05 thick ribbon. This ribbon cable is constructed with nine, Kapton® insulated 28 AWG leads, each of which is composed of seven 0.005 diameter twisted strands of silver-plated copper wire.

AGP also offers connector-to-connector, female/female UHV rated extension cable assemblies that are 19-inches in length, and fitted with PEEK subminiature-C female connectors at both ends.

Contact-to-cable UHV ribbon cable assemblies are an economical in-vacuum connectivity solution, wherein contacts are individually pushed-on to their corresponding feedthrough pins. They are ideally suited for applications requiring single and/or infrequent connection cycles. These UHV cable assemblies are fitted with crimped male or female contacts on one end, and with non-terminated, Kapton insulated, leads at the other.

Caution: Please note that contact-to-cable ribbon assemblies are an economical connectivity solution, as such these do not include PEEK connectors, nor will they allow PEEK connector installation at a future date. Crimped contacts are too large for insertion through the PEEK connector’s back-piece. Generally, ribbon cable wires must be threaded through the connector’s back-piece before contacts are crimped to their respective wires.
