SHIELDED ELECTRICAL RIBBON CABLE

摘要

A shielded electrical ribbon cable (11502), comprising: a plurality of conductor sets (11504a, 11504b, 11504c) extending lengthwise along the cable and being spaced apart from each other along a width of the cable, and each conductor set (11504a, 11504b, 11504c) including one or more insulated conductors (11506), the conductor sets (11504a, 11504b, 11504c) including a first conductor set (11504a) adjacent a second conductor set (11504b); and a first and second shielding film (11508) disposed on opposite sides of the cable, the first and second films (11508) including cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the first and second films (11508) in combination substantially surround each conductor set (11504a, 11504b, 11504c), and the pinched portions of the first and second films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor set (11504a, 11504b, 11504c); wherein, when the cable is laid flat, a first insulated conductor of the first conductor set (11504a) is nearest the second conductor set (11504b), and a second insulated conductor of the second conductor set (11504b) is nearest the first conductor set (11504a), and the first and second insulated conductors have a center-to-center spacing S1; and wherein the first insulated conductor has an outer dimension D1 and the second insulated conductor has an outer dimension D2; and wherein S1/Dmin is in a range from 1.7 to 2, where Dmin is the lesser of D1 and D2.
