Design and assembly of precision-tiered flat, flexible cables
The cable assemblies described are used in a weapon application and were constructed by joining several flat flexible branches at the terminations in a precision-tiered arrangement. The present discussion relates specifically to the problems encountered in the design and fabrication of development assemblies. The cable branches were produced from copper clad Kapton laminate by the photo-etching process and were covercoated with Kapton insulation to protect and isolate the conductors. Subminiature rack and panel type connectors were used as the terminations. Polyurethane encapsulation provided both the required environmental backseal of the completed assembly and the needed mechanical support for the soldered connections.
