For over fifty years, Cicoil has been designing and manufacturing high performance cable assemblies to the aerospace, military, space, medical and automation industries. The company’s unique silicone coated flat cables provide high flexibility, extremely long life, and they can withstand temperature extremes from -65 degrees to +260 degrees Celsius.

Cicoil’s cables are used in thousands of mission critical and precise control applications. Cables Resistant to Radiation, UV Rays, Ozone, Fire, Corona, Atmospheric and Weathering exposure. ISO 9001; AS 9100; NASA; ESA.

5 Big Reasons for Flexible Flat Cable from Cicoil

Flexibility – Ideal for linear motion and tight-space applications, our flat silicone cables last for millions of flex cycles, with bend radiuses as small as 1/2″.

Variety – We can quickly make a flexible cable or cable assembly to fit your needs. Our unique extrusion process manufactures flat cables from a wide variety of wire conductors, clear tubing, and even fiber-optics.

Durability – All wires are encapsulated in crystal-clear silicone, creating a tough, highly reliable silicone cable.

Extreme Environments – Silicone cables perform in temperatures from -65° C to +260° C, in clean rooms, under vacuum, and during exposure to water, oil, and chemicals.

Quality – Our quality system is ISO 9001 certified, including the strict AS 9100 aerospace standard. We maintain a rigorous quality process, where 100% of our flat silicone cables are strenuously tested to ensure optimum performance.

When you need the ultimate in reliability and performance,
Cicoil is ‘The Clear Choice’

Unique Cicoil flexible silicone cables are available with wire gauges from 4 to 44 AWG, in virtually any configuration required. Our proprietary extrusion process allows multiple wires to be placed into a highly flexible flat cable, precisely controlling the wire spacing, the insulation thickness, and the overall cable shape.

Designers can create exactly the cable needed, in the smallest possible package, which saves space and reduces cost. The silicone cable jacket and finely-stranded wire conductors combine to make Cicoil’s cables the most flexible on the market. In addition, Cicoil cables have been tested for tens of millions of cycles, ensuring reliable performance and long life.

For repetitive motion, vibration, environmental extremes, and temperature extremes there is simply no better option than silicone cables.

Specify Cicoil Silicone Cables when…

• PVC will melt, break, or burn
• PTFE will fail under repetitive motion
• Operation is in temperature and environmental extremes
• Cables must withstand medical or industrial chemicals
• Repetitive motion, vibration, or shock will damage other cables
• Cables must be soft to the touch
• Application must meet NASA or ESA outgassing requirements

COLD SHRINK™ CONNECTOR INSULATORS

Product Description

3M™ Cold Shrink™ Connector Insulators are open-ended, tubular, rubber sleeves which are factory expanded and assembled onto a removable core.

The core is removed after the tube has been positioned for installation over an inline connection, terminal lug, etc., allowing the tube to shrink and form a water-resistant seal.

The insulating tube is made of EPDM rubber which contains no chlorides or sulfurs. Six diameter sizes will cover a range of 1000 volt cable from 10 AWG through 1000 kcmil, copper and aluminum conductors.

To extend the useful life of this product in applications which are continuously exposed to high levels of ultra-violet radiation, overwrap with Scotch™ Super 33+ Vinyl Tape or Scotch™ 70 Silicone Tape.

Features:

• Simple installation, requires no tools.
• Accommodates a wide range of cable sizes.
• No torches or heat required.
• Good thermal stability.
• Seals tight, retains its resiliency and pressure even after prolonged years of aging and exposure.
• Excellent wet electrical properties.

ADAM TECH MCR SERIES

Micro-USB Connectors

USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF) finalized the specification of the Micro-USB technology in early January 2007. The development of this new connector technology has given the opportunity for portable device and mobile phone makers to further reduce their real estate in their applications.

The Micro-USB will replace most of the Mini-USB plugs and receptacles that are currently being used. The specification of the Micro-USB supports the current USB On-The-Go (OTG) supplement.

This allows communication between portable devices without going through a host. Being much smaller than the Mini-USB, the Micro- USB is the choice of interconnect solution of mobile phone makers such as Nokia and Motorola for their new phone designs.

The interconnect solutions for the ADAM TECH Micro-USB system include OTG compatible, Micro-B and Micro AB receptacles. Both receptacle types are available with and without mounting peg for added design flexibility.

The plug side of the interface features both Micro-A and Micro-B pluggable kit options and cable assemblies. ADAM TECH is in full production mode for this series and samples are available upon request
