![]() ![]() Shield and drain wire are properly terminated, per engineering documentation.Ĭonnector-mounted strain relief clips shall be properly positioned and set.ĭamage to the connector (i.e.: cuts, gouges, cracks, deformed features, bent pins, exposed base metal, etc.).ĭamage to the cable jacket, ribbon or conductor insulation (i.e.: cuts, pinching, nicks, scrapes, crazing, crushing, cold flow, exposed conductors, punctures, thinning or burns).Ĭable conductor end(s) protrude in excess of 0.8 mm (0.031 in.) beyond the connector body edge, or violate minimum electrical spacing requirements. The polarization stripe or ridge (if provided) is visible and properly aligned with the connector polarization mark. ![]() Each connector shall be identified by a permanent label/marking affixed directly to the connector body, or to the cable adjacent to the connector. Slight scuffing or discoloration is acceptable.Įach cable/harness shall be identified by a permanent label/marking. The cable does not exhibit evidence of insulation damage, such as cuts, nicks, scrapes, crushing, cold flow or burns. Slight scuffing or discoloration is acceptable, provided there is no impact to form, fit or function, and there is no exposure of base metal. The cable exhibits proper bned radius at entry and exit of the strain relief clamp device. Ribbon cables should be routed along flat surfaces (either vertical or horizontal) whenever possible, shall be properly supported and secured by cable clamps, and should not be routed near high electrical noise, heat or vibration sources. Inline terminations shall be properly oriented and completed only in locations along the cable designed for such terminations, and where sufficient strain relief is available. The termination exhibits alignment to the connector fiducials (small notches/marks) and grooves. The completed connector assembly shall result in the electrical termination of each conductor to the respective termination pin. Ribbon cable suitable for harness installation shall be of a round-to-flat, transition/breakout type. Ribbon cables shall not be incorporated into discrete wire harnesses, unless specifically designed for that application. The recommended long-term bend radius is ten (10) diameters.Ĭable is properly aligned and oriented in the connector, and the cable end does not protrude in excess of 0.8 mm (0.031 in.) beyond the connector body edge, or violate minimum electrical spacing requirements. The bend radius for coaxial ribbon cables shall not be less than six (6) insulated wire diameters short-term, ten (10) diameters long-term.įlat and ribbon cables shall not be creased, folded or bent less than three (3) insulated wire diameters (short-term). The assembly exhibits a smooth, flat profile, with no visible damage to the connectors or the insulation. Conductors are properly aligned to respective termination pins and properly seated. The cable assembly meets dimensional, layout and design requirements. ![]() Ribbon cable is a multi-conductor cable, comprised of individually insulated, stranded conductors, which are mechanically bonded to each other in a parallel (flat) orientation.īoth cable architectures result in a highly flexible, compact and robust cable, allowing mass termination of the conductors to high-density connectors by the insulation displacement contact (IDC) process.
