Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable arrangement, in particular to a grounded FFC cable arrangement. Background Art
[0002] Flexible Flat Cable, referred to as Flat Cable or FFC, RFC. It is a new type of data cable made of PET or other insulating materials and extremely thin flat copper wires pressed together through a high-tech automated equipment production line. It has the advantages of being soft, flexible, thin, small, simple to connect, easy to disassemble, and easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI). The current flat cable needs to be electroplated according to user needs. The product itself is tinned, but the service life of the tinning process is short. It is easy to be damaged when used in marine environments or other harsh environments. In order to increase the antioxidant capacity, the gold plating process is used. Since the original cable has a ground wire, it is rolled into a roll for electroplating because it needs to be reinforced and punched, so that the conductor on the outside can be electroplated, and the conductor on the inside cannot be electroplated. Utility Model Content
[0003] One purpose of the utility model is to provide a grounded FFC cable, in which the PIN wire on the gold finger is cut into a first ground wire and a second ground wire for use as a ground wire, and the grounding process before gold plating no longer requires overlapping conductors, so that the electroplating requirements of the conductor layer are met during the electroplating process, thereby improving product quality.
[0004] To achieve this purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] A grounded FFC cable comprises a conductor layer, a printed insulating film, a wordless insulating film, a first aluminum foil layer and a second aluminum foil layer, wherein the printed insulating film is located between the first aluminum foil layer and the conductor layer, the wordless insulating film is located between the second aluminum foil layer and the conductor layer, an insulating region is spanned across the middle of the second aluminum foil layer, a plurality of PIN wires are arranged on the inner side of the insulating region, each of the PIN wires has a first ground wire and a second ground wire, the first ground wire is bent on the wordless insulating film in a direction away from the second ground wire, the second ground wire is bent on the wordless insulating film in a direction away from the first ground wire, and the first ground wire and the second ground wire are used for ground connection.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the conductor layer is connected to the insulating area.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the outer side of the first aluminum foil layer and the outer side of the second aluminum foil layer are coated with transparent high-temperature adhesive, and the transparent high-temperature adhesive clamps the first ground wire and the second ground wire.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the material of the conductor layer is copper.
[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a grounded FFC cable is provided, wherein the original whole PIN wire is cut into a first ground wire and a second ground wire (cutting is performed according to usage requirements, not limited to the number and position of the ground wires), and the ground wire is replaced by being bent outward for use (not limited to which side the bending is performed), so that the conductor layer can be completely electroplated in the electroplating process during the production process. In addition, compared with the existing tin plating process, the grounding process of the present design before gold plating no longer requires overlapping conductors, thereby improving the quality of the product.
