Flexible Flat Semiconductor Cables
Rated for Class 1 Clean Rooms utilized in Semiconductor Wafer Fabs, Cicoil's Flexible Flat Cables are ideal for operational critical applications that require absolute reliability. The crystal-clear designs are free of halogens & contaminants, and are an excellent alternative to PVC, Polyurethane and Teflon cables, especially in continuous motion and long-term flexing operations.
Cicoil's One-of-a-Kind extrusion process allows multiple power conductors, shielded signal pairs, Fiber Optics, Ethernet, Coax, Thermocouple Wires and flexible tubing for air, wire placement or fluid transfer, and other design elements like Cicoil's patented StripMount™ fastening strip to be placed in a single flat cable, precisely controlling the Inner component spacing, jacket thickness and the overall cable shape.
The highly durable outer Flexx-Sil™ rubber jacket is self-healing from small punctures and will not wear, crack or deform during a lifetime of more than 10 million flexing cycles or long term exposure to vibration, de-ionized water, cold temperatures (-65°C), alcohol, extreme heat (+165°C), stress, UV light and many chemicals.
Standard "off-the-shelf" Cables are available for immediate delivery and cable assemblies, complete with connectors are offered in 3 foot, 6 foot and 12 foot lengths.
Custom Flat Cable designs can be easily constructed through the use of Cicoil's On-line EZ-Flexx™ Cable Configurator. Assorted round cables can be incorporated into a single flat profile, and multiple flat cables can be placed side-by-side or even grouped into space saving stacked positions. For adhesion-free, continuous movement in a cable track, Cicoil offers low-friction GlideRite™ and SlideRite™ coating options by request.
As compared to bundled round and podded flat cables, the EZ-Flexx™ concept allows for easy stripping and a significant decrease in cable prep time. The unique design is also compatible with standard hand held manual and automated stripping and crimping equipment.
Cicoil's Cables for Semiconductor Applications are UL Recognized, CE Conforming, RoHS & REACH Compliant, Class 1 Clean Room Rated and exceed the outgassing requirements of ASTM E-595. All cables are manufactured in an automated, climate controlled and debris-free environment.
Cicoil has been a leader in designing and manufacturing high performance cable assemblies for almost sixty years. The company's Patented Flexx-Sil™ Flat Cable Technology provides high flexibility, extremely long life, and they can withstand temperature extremes from -65 degrees to +260 degrees Celsius. Cicoil's flat cables are used in thousands of demanding applications; including aircraft fuel control cells, semiconductor automation, and the Space Shuttle. Cicoil designs and manufactures its Flexx-Sil™ jacketed cables and cable assemblies in an automated facility in Valencia, California. Cicoil's quality assurance system is certified to the ISO 9001 (AS9100) standard. Visit www.cicoil.com for more information, or call 661-295-1295 to speak to an application engineer.
