In addition to bulk cable,
the US Engineering Cable
Assembly Group offers
Prepared Cable for the .100
[2.54] and .156 [3.96] cen-
terline cables. This can be
in the form of prenotched
cable on reels or cut-to-
length cable segments.
Prenotched 250 foot reels
of cable can be produced
with notches at varying
increments or repeating all
along the cable. The maxi-
mum width of these cables
is 20 conductor for the .100
[2.54] centerline and 13
conductor for the .156
[3.96] centerline.
Prepared Cable is also
available with a Strip and
Retain feature allowing the
cable assembly to be sol-
dered directly to the PC
Board. This saves space
and cost and reduces
spare parts inventory. Strip
and Retain on both ends is
used in family board appli-
cations to maintain the
electrical connection when
the PC Board is separated
into smaller boards after
soldering. Widths are limited
to 20 conductors for the
.100 [2.54] centerline and
13 conductors for the .156
[3.96] centerline. However,
multiple cables can be
placed side-by-side in a
single connector. For other
styles and configurations
contact the product engi-
neer or product manager.
