Wurth Elektronik WR-FFC Series Flat Flexible Ribbon Cable, 18 Conductors, 1 mm Pitch, 152 mm Length, Model 686718152001

Wurth Elektronik 686718152001 WR-FFC Series Ribbon Cable is a specialized flat flexible cable designed for demanding electronic and industrial applications. This model offers 18 conductors with a fine 1 mm pitch, ensuring reliable signal and power transmission within compact devices and high-density circuit arrangements.

The cable measures 152 mm in length and is manufactured using a robust polyphenylene ether jacket material, providing excellent durability, insulation, and flexibility even in confined installation spaces. The jacket is white in color and incorporates a blue PET support tape at each end, optimizing the cable for ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) or LIF (Low Insertion Force) connector assemblies, allowing for simple, damage-free installation and secure connectivity.

With its Type 2 FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) construction, the cable features exposed contacts on opposing sides at each end, expanding versatility for board-to-board connections. Its extensive flexibility withstands over 20 flex cycles at 180 degrees, enabling use in moving or articulated sections of devices and facilitating complex geometrical layouts without the risk of breakage or signal loss.

18 copper conductors engineered for effective signal control and low resistance. 1 mm pitch and 152 mm length to fit diverse FFC/FPC connector footprints. Polyphenylene ether jacket delivers superior mechanical and thermal properties.

Lightweight and low-profile design, key for applications where space and weight are restricted. RoHS compliant for hazardous substance-free electrical installations. Blue PET tapes included for enhanced assembly with ZIF/LIF connectors.

Flexible enough for repeated motion and challenging layouts.

Industrial and electronics use cases for this WR-FFC ribbon cable include interconnection of PCBs in display modules, printers, scanning systems, portable consumer electronics, industrial controls, and communication gear. It is especially suited for LCD appliances, plasma panels, office equipment, and notebook PC internal wiring where minimal space, reliable performance, and repeated flexing are essential.
