FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 16970275 titled 'FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a flexible flat cable design that includes multiple layers of insulation and conductive patterns, as well as shield layers for protection. Here are the key points:
- The cable consists of a first insulation layer, a first conductive pattern, a second conductive pattern, and a second insulation layer.
- A first shield member is included, which has a first shield layer covering the conductive patterns and insulation layers.
- A second shield layer is placed on top of the first shield layer.
- A third insulation layer surrounds the first shield layer, covering the exposed portion between the first insulation layer and the second shield layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electronics manufacturing: The flexible flat cable can be used in various electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, to provide reliable and efficient connections between components.
- Automotive industry: The cable design can be used in vehicles for wiring harnesses, connecting different electrical systems and components.
- Aerospace industry: The flexible flat cable can be utilized in aircraft for wiring and interconnecting various avionics systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection: The shield layers in the cable design help to minimize EMI, ensuring signal integrity and reducing the risk of interference.
- Flexibility and space-saving: The flat and flexible nature of the cable allows for easy installation in tight spaces and complex routing, making it suitable for compact electronic devices and vehicles.
- Durability and reliability: The multiple insulation layers and shield members provide protection against physical damage, moisture, and other environmental factors, enhancing the cable's lifespan and performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal quality: The shield layers and insulation help to maintain signal integrity, reducing the risk of signal loss or degradation.
- Space-efficient design: The flat cable design saves space and allows for more efficient use of internal device or vehicle space.
- Enhanced durability: The multiple layers of insulation and shield members provide protection against external factors, increasing the cable's resistance to wear and tear.
Original Abstract Submitted
