Development of In-Vehicle Flexible Flat Cables

摘要

Multi-core flexible flat cables have been commonly used for electric wiring to electronic appliances. Along with the increase of electronic equipment installation in automobiles, in-vehicle flexible flat cables have found wider applications, taking the advantage of the flat shape for high-density and compact wiring. Sumitomo Electric has developed and manufactured various kinds of flexible flat cable products for electronic appliances. Based on its experience and technical know-how in this field, Sumitomo Electric has succeeded in developing new in-vehicle flexible flat cables featuring higher reliability even when applied in severe conditions such as hot-water immersion (85°C × 35 days), high-humidity and high-temperature exposure (85°C and 85% RH × 1000 hours, 125°C × 3000 hours).
