Subminiature-C Vacuum Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies
Connector to Cable: UHV Kapton flat ribbon cable assemblies are fitted with PEEK subminiature-C female or male connectors at one end, and nine, non-terminated, color-coded Kapton® insulated wires at the other.
The female cable connectors mate directly onto the vacuum-side of subminiature-C UHV feedthroughs, sub-c HV feedthroughs, or with male in-vacuum cable connectors.
The PEEK cable weave is made with a nominal diameter of 0.14 inches. The nine wires are Kapton® insulated 28 AWG silver-plated copper conductors, stranded 7 x 0.005.
Connector to Connector Extension Cables are fitted with PEEK subminiature-C female connectors on both ends of a 19-inch UHV Kapton insulated flat ribbon cable.
Contact to Cable: UHV ribbon cable assemblies include crimped male or female contacts on one end, and nine, non-terminated, Kapton® insulated leads at the other.
Caution: 'contact to cable' assemblies do not include PEEK connectors and will not allow subsequent connector installation, as wires must be threaded through connector back-piece before crimping contacts.

Subminiature-C UHV Ribbon Cable Assemblies
AGP vacuum compatible connector-to-cable ribbon cable assemblies, fitted with PEEK Subminiature-C female connectors on one end, and nine non-terminated leads at opposite end are available in both 19 and 39-inch lengths. These female connectors mate directly to the vacuum side of AGP subminiature-C UHV and HV feedthroughs, and/or with other PEEK male connector fitted extension cables. Cables are woven into ribbon form using PEEK monofilament to produce a .41 wide and .05 thick ribbon. This ribbon cable is constructed with nine, Kapton® insulated 28 AWG leads, each of which is composed of seven 0.005 diameter twisted strands of silver-plated copper wire.
AGP also offers connector-to-connector, female/female UHV rated extension cable assemblies that are 19-inches in length, and fitted with PEEK subminiature-C female connectors at both ends.
Contact-to-cable UHV ribbon cable assemblies are an economical in-vacuum connectivity solution, wherein contacts are individually pushed-on to their corresponding feedthrough pins. They are ideally suited for applications requiring single and/or infrequent connection cycles. These UHV cable assemblies are fitted with crimped male or female contacts on one end, and with non-terminated, Kapton insulated, leads at the other.
Caution: Please note that contact-to-cable ribbon assemblies are an economical connectivity solution, as such these do not include PEEK connectors, nor will they allow PEEK connector installation at a future date. Crimped contacts are too large for insertion through the PEEK connector’s back-piece. Generally, ribbon cable wires must be threaded through the connector’s back-piece before contacts are crimped to their respective wires.

| Notes |
- Electrical ratings are maximum test values, with feedthrough's vacuum side at ≤ 1x10-4 Torr. Feedthroughs are intended for instrumentation applications carrying low level signal voltage and current.
- For proper heat dissipation, a maximum of 20% of the pins on a feedthrough may carry the maximum pin current at any given time.
- PEEK is a polyether ether ketone thermoplastic.
- Wire is stranded 28AWG, 7x .005 Ag-Plated copper
- Overall assembly ratings must be adjusted to that of its lowest rated component. For cryogenic service, the lowest recommended temperature is -75°C
