Custom Ribbon Cable Assemblies We Manufacture

1.IDC Ribbon Cable Assembly
IDC ribbon cable assemblies are commonly used for PCB connections, control boards, display modules, industrial controllers and embedded electronic devices. Yihetai can manufacture IDC flat ribbon cables with different pitch options, conductor counts, connector orientations, keying methods and cable lengths.

Typical configurations include:

IDC socket to IDC socket ribbon cable
IDC socket to box header mating cable
IDC ribbon cable with strain relief
IDC ribbon cable with keyed or polarized connectors
2.54mm IDC ribbon cable assembly
1.27mm IDC ribbon cable assembly
Custom pinout IDC ribbon cable

2. Flat Ribbon Cable Assembly
Flat ribbon cable assemblies are suitable for applications that require neat routing, consistent conductor spacing and compact internal wiring. Yihetai can customize conductor count, cable length, color marking, connector type and end termination according to your equipment layout.

3.Rainbow Ribbon Cable Assembly
Rainbow ribbon cables use color-coded conductors to make pin identification easier during production, installation and maintenance. They are useful in electronic devices, test fixtures, prototype systems, control panels and low-voltage signal connections.

4.Ribbon Cable with D-Sub Connector
Yihetai manufactures ribbon cable assemblies terminated with D-sub connectors for data transmission, signal connection, industrial equipment, control systems and legacy interface applications. Options include DB9, DB15, DB25 and custom D-sub configurations depending on your design.

5.Ribbon-to-Discrete Wire Breakout Assembly
For applications where a flat ribbon cable needs to connect to separate terminals, housings, switches, sensors or PCB points, we can produce ribbon-to-discrete-wire breakout assemblies. These hybrid cable assemblies can combine ribbon cable, single wires, crimp terminals, housings, heat shrink tubes and labels.

6.Ribbon Cable with Custom Pinout
Special wiring sequences are common in OEM products. Yihetai can manufacture straight-through, reverse, crossed, split, transition or custom-mapped ribbon cable assemblies based on your circuit and connector requirements.

7.Shielded or Jacketed Ribbon Cable Assembly
For applications with higher EMI requirements or mechanical protection needs, Yihetai can support shielded, screened or jacketed ribbon cable structures depending on your technical specification.

IDC Connector & Termination Options

IDC Socket Ribbon Cable

IDC socket ribbon cable assemblies are widely used for PCB board connection, control systems and electronic modules. They provide fast assembly and stable multi-pin signal connection.

IDC Box Header Cable

Ribbon cables can be designed to mate with box headers, shrouded headers or ejector headers according to your PCB connector layout.

Ribbon Cable to D-sub Connector

Ribbon cable to D-sub cable assemblies are suitable for industrial control, test equipment, legacy interface devices and communication systems.

Ribbon Cable Breakout Assembly

A ribbon cable breakout assembly separates the flat ribbon cable into individual wires, which can be terminated with crimp terminals, housings, open ends, tinned wires or other connectors.

Ribbon Cable to Board Connector

Custom board-to-board ribbon cable assemblies are used for compact internal connection between PCB boards, display modules, control boards and embedded systems.
