2.54mm 10P IDC to BF Flat Cable – Anti-Vibration, Space-Saving | leocable

Struggling with loose ribbon cables inside industrial gear that shakes? leocable’s 2.54mm 10P IDC to BF flat cable assembly delivers a straightforward fix.

This IDC to BF solution packs three practical upgrades:
– Flat ribbon shape slides into tight gaps where round cables won’t fit.
– IDC socket with locking latch – won’t wiggle loose from vibration.
– BF connector with screw holes – bolt it directly to your chassis.

Rated 300V, VW-1 flame retardant, with gold-plated pins for reliable signal.

【Key Features】

1. Space-Saving Flat Ribbon Design
The gray flat ribbon structure (0.08 mm² conductor) routes neatly along chassis walls or between PCBs. Layer it, fold it, or tape it down for clean internal layout and better airflow.

2. IDC Socket with Locking Latch – Stays Put Under Vibration
The black latch molded from PBT-V90 engineering plastic clicks shut and holds tight. Tested on a vibrating table at 10G – no disconnection.

3. BF Connector with Screw Mounting Holes – No Floating Ends
Drive M2 or M2.5 screws through each ear directly into your chassis or PCB. Gold-plated pins resist corrosion and keep contact resistance low for thousands of cycles.

4. Built for Reliability
Tin-plated copper conductors. PVC jacket meets VW-1 flame rating. Rated 80°C or 105°C, safe continuous current ≤0.3A.

【Electrical Characteristics】

Rated Voltage & Current: 300V / ≤0.3A – For signal and low-power distribution. Not for heavy power.

Conductor: Tin-plated copper – Easy soldering, corrosion protection.

Flame Rating: VW-1 (PVC jacket) – Resists fire, won’t spread flames.

【Mechanical Performance】

Locking Latch Mating Cycles: 500+ insertions – PBT-V90 housing stays stiff.

Gold-Plated Pins (BF end): Defeats oxidation, stable contact resistance.

Screw Fixing Holes: Screw it down once, cable won’t creep loose.

Flat Cable Bend Radius: ~10x thickness – Fold 90° along wide axis.

【Application Scenarios】

Industrial Control Panels with Vibration (CNC, conveyors):
Pain point: Standard IDC connectors creep loose from machine shaking.
Solution: Locking latch on IDC socket prevents unseating. BF end screws to chassis.

Compact Communication Equipment (Routers, base stations):
Pain point: Round cables block airflow in tight enclosures.
Solution: Flat ribbon stacks against side walls, routes through 3mm gaps.

Portable Instruments (Data loggers, medical monitors):
Pain point: Drop or bump loosens connectors.
Solution: Both ends have mechanical retention – latch + screws. Gold pins resist humidity.

【FAQ】

Q1: Does the locking IDC connector really hold under vibration?
A: Yes. PBT-V90 housing, tested at 10G on vibrating table. No disconnection.

Q2: Can I use this cable for power delivery (12V at 1A)?
A: No. Rated ≤0.3A continuous. Designed for signal applications (sensors, logic signals, LEDs).

Q3: What screw fits the BF connector holes?
A: M2 or M2.5 machine screws. The hole is unthreaded – screw into chassis or PCB standoff.

Q4: Can I get different pin counts on the same 2.54mm pitch?
A: Yes. Also available: 6P, 14P, 16P, 20P on same 2.54mm pitch gray ribbon.

Q5: Is the PVC jacket VW-1 flame rated? UL file number?
A: Yes, VW-1 rated. UL recognition letter available upon request.

Q6: What’s the minimum order for a custom length?
A: Prototypes: 10 pieces. Production: 100 pieces typical. Stock lengths: 6″, 12″, 24″.

Q7: Will gold plating on BF pins wear off?
A: Standard 3-5µ” gold for 500+ cycles. Heavy-gold 15µ” option available.
