Specialised flex cable with UL/CSA approvals suits both dynamic and static applications

Designed for both static connectivity to sensors and dynamic applications, such as those found in chains and robotics equipment, Molex has introduces the Flamar-Flex cable. Featuring a permissible bending radius of 5x outside diameter, the cable can operate reliably and safely in extremely small bending radius applications. “The Flamar-Flex cables can be stripped back easily to the desired length and provide excellent insulation properties,” said Ricky Comini, director business development, industrial products, Molex. “In addition, the low cable capacitance (pF) helps ensure enhanced electrical characteristics over comparable cables available on the market today.” The Molex Flamar-Flex cable is UL/CSA approved (style 21209 / 21757) for temperature ranges of -50C to +90C (static), -40C to +80C (dynamic) and -30C to +60C (drag chain). Featuring an abrasion, tear and UV resistant pure PUR, ether-based out jacket, the Flamar-Flex cable is oil-resistant (EN 50363-10, VDE 7472-803/B and UL1581/758), flame- retardant (IEC 60332-1, VW1, FT1, UL Vertical Flame Test) and Halogen-free (IEC 60754-1, EN 50267-2-1, VDE 0472-815), says the company.
