[0024] The following will further illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 - 3 and through specific embodiments.

[0025] The accompanying drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting the patent; for better illustration of this embodiment, some components in the drawings are omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the dimensions of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0026] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be said that the interiors of two elements are in communication. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] An FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission includes an aluminum foil 3, an insulating film 2, and a plurality of silver-plated copper wires 1. The plurality of silver-plated copper wires 1 are arranged at intervals in the same plane. Both sides of the plurality of silver-plated copper wires 1 are covered with the insulating film 2, and the aluminum foil 3 covers the surface of the insulating film 2;

[0028] One side of the aluminum foil 3 in contact with the insulating film 2 is coated with hot melt adhesive, and the hot melt adhesive is distributed in an oblique strip shape at intervals; the insulating film 2 is a PP film, and one side of the insulating film 2 in contact with the silver-plated copper wire 1 is coated with polyolefin insulating glue.

[0029] The FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission of the present utility model uses silver-plated copper wires 1. The silver-plated layer on the surface of the silver-plated copper wires 1 can improve the electrical conductivity of the cable, and can also effectively reduce the signal loss of the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission during the high-frequency signal transmission process, and can also improve the corrosion resistance of the wire, making the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission more adaptable to the high-speed and heat dissipation requirements of server signal transmission; the insulating film 2 coated with polyolefin insulating glue has good heat resistance, which can improve the service life of the FFC wire. The hot melt adhesive is distributed in an oblique strip shape at intervals between the aluminum foil 3 and the insulating film 2, forming a so-called "M" structure, which can reduce the dielectric constant of the insulating film 2. After measurement, the dielectric constant of the insulating film 2 of the present utility model is 2.2 - 2.4.

[0030] Further, one side of both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 is covered with the aluminum foil 3 and the insulating film 2, and the other side of both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 is exposed outside the aluminum foil 3 and the insulating film 2.

[0031] Such as Figure 1As shown, the aluminum foil 3 and the insulating film 2 on one side of the silver-plated copper wire 1 are extended to cover both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1, so that the ends of the multiple silver-plated copper wires 1 of the FFC flexible flat cable for high-frequency signal transmission are connected as a whole. While keeping the other side of both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 of the FFC flexible flat cable for high-frequency signal transmission exposed, the anti-bending performance of the silver-plated copper wires 1 at both ends of the FFC flexible flat cable for high-frequency signal transmission during the plugging and unplugging process can be improved, and the wire usage loss can be reduced.

[0032] In some embodiments, the multiple silver-plated copper wires 1 are divided into multiple PIN groups, and each PIN group includes at least two silver-plated copper wires 1;

[0033] A through hole 6 is provided between two adjacent PIN groups, and the through hole 6 sequentially penetrates through two silver-plated copper wires 1 on both sides, as well as the aluminum foil 3 and the insulating film 2 covering both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, providing the through hole 6 between two adjacent PIN groups can improve the connection stability and grounding reliability of the FFC flexible flat cable for high-frequency signal transmission during use.

[0035] Furthermore, the through hole 6 is filled with a conductive material 7;

[0036] The aluminum foil 3 covering both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 is electrically connected to the two silver-plated copper wires 1 on both sides of the through hole 6 through the conductive material 7.

[0037] As Figure 3 shown in the embodiment, in this way, the aluminum foil 3 on one side covering both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 and part of the silver-plated copper wire 1 can be electrically connected to the ground wire through the filling body of the conductive material 7 in the through hole 6, thereby improving the grounding performance and electrostatic shielding performance of the above-mentioned FFC flexible flat cable of the present invention.

[0038] Preferably, conductive silver paste can be used as the conductive material 7 to fill the through hole 6.

[0039] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 5 is further included;

[0040] The reinforcing plate 5 is disposed between one side of both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 and the aluminum foil 3.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, adding the reinforcing plate 5 between the non-exposed both ends of the silver-plated copper wire 1 and the aluminum foil 3 can improve the strength and plugging and unplugging resistance performance of both ends of the FFC flexible flat cable for high-frequency signal transmission.

[0042] Furthermore, a gasket 4 is further included;

[0043] The gasket 4 is located between the reinforcing plate 5 and the silver-plated copper wire 1;

[0044] The gasket 4 and the reinforcing plate 5 are both made of PET, and both sides of the gasket 4 and the reinforcing plate 5 are coated with polyolefin insulating glue.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, by adding the gasket 4, the hardness and plug-in resistance of the two end wire ports of the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission can be further improved.

[0046] Preferably, the silver-plated copper wire 1 is a flat wire.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the use of flat wires can increase the electrical contact area of ​​the silver-plated copper wire 1 and improve the stability of the electrical connection of the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission.

[0048] In summary, if Figures 1 - 3 In the embodiment of the utility model shown, the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission adopts a silver-plated copper wire 1 as a conductor, which can reduce the signal loss of the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission during high-frequency signal transmission on the basis of improving the conductive performance; the hot melt adhesive is distributed between the aluminum foil 3 and the insulating film 2 in the form of spaced oblique strips to form a so-called Mal-shaped structure, which can reduce the dielectric constant of the insulating film 2, so that the FFC cable for high-frequency signal transmission is more suitable for the high-speed transmission and heat dissipation requirements of the server's high-frequency signals.

[0049] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
