UL1571

UL1571 PVC Insulated Flat Ribbon Cable Overview

The UL1571 PVC Insulated Flat Ribbon Cable is precision-engineered to deliver reliable signal and power transmission within confined electronic enclosures. Manufactured with a pliable yet resilient tinned copper stranded core, this cabling solution offers exceptional oxidation resistance and immediate solderability, significantly reducing preparation time on active assembly lines. The exterior features a smooth, uniformly extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or semi-rigid PVC (SRPVC) jacket that feels distinctively flexible while maintaining robust structural integrity during intricate routing and tight bending. Available in a comprehensive, fully customizable range of wire gauges from 16 AWG to 32 AWG, and offered in over ten standard vivid colors—including stark black, bright red, deep blue, and vibrant green—this cable facilitates accurate circuit identification and streamlined wire harness management. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of modern electrical appliances, it ensures consistent electrical performance while mitigating the risks of signal degradation and mechanical wear in compact, densely populated circuit environments. Whether utilized in delicate consumer electronics or demanding industrial control panels, the UL1571 provides a dependable foundation for complex internal architectures.

Core Engineering and Safety Characteristics

Thermal Stability and Voltage Capacity

① Rated temperature: 80ºC. Operating safely in environments with elevated ambient heat, the insulation maintains its physical properties without softening or degrading. This thermal endurance ensures long-term reliability in enclosed electronic chassis where heat dissipation is inherently limited.

② Rated voltage: 30V. Optimized for low-voltage applications and Class 2 circuit designs, this specification guarantees stable power delivery and signal integrity for sensitive microelectronics, sensors, and internal control boards.

Stringent Compliance and Flame Retardance

③ Reference Standard: UL758, UL1581, C22.2 No.210. Adherence to these globally recognized safety frameworks means every spool manufactured meets strict metallurgical and polymeric benchmarks, providing engineers with absolute confidence in system integration.

④ Passes UL VW-1 & CSA FT1 vertical flame test. In the event of an unexpected electrical fault or thermal overload, the specially formulated PVC compound acts as a critical safety barrier. It is engineered to self-extinguish rapidly, preventing fire propagation within valuable equipment and ensuring the utmost safety for end-users and surrounding infrastructure.

Manufacturing Precision and Application Versatility

⑤ Uniform insulation thickness of wire to ensure easy stripping and cutting. By maintaining an exceptionally low eccentricity ratio during the extrusion process, the tinned copper conductor remains perfectly centered within the dielectric jacket. This precise geometry translates to a clean, tactile snap when processed by automated wire-stripping machinery, eliminating the risk of conductor scoring, reducing mechanical blade wear, and minimizing costly production waste on the factory floor.

⑥ For internal wiring of electronic and electrical equipment and appliance. Its low-profile flat ribbon configuration is purpose-built to navigate narrow channels and tight bend radii, making it an indispensable component for audio-visual hardware, computing devices, and advanced industrial instrumentation.

Technical Specifications and Dimensional Data

The following data sheet outlines the exact construction parameters, dimensional tolerances, and electrical resistance values for the UL1571 series. The stranded tinned copper architecture (ranging from 7/0.08mm to 26/0.254mm configurations) is meticulously calculated to balance mechanical flexibility with optimal conductivity. The maximum conductor resistance is strictly controlled at 20°C to prevent energy loss and thermal buildup across all available gauges, ensuring that even the thinnest 32 AWG variants perform with unwavering stability under continuous load.
