The characteristic impedance of twin lead is a function of the insulating material and its thickness, and the wire diameter and its spacing; in the most common type, 300 Ω twin-lead ribbon cable, the wire is usually AWG 20 or 22 (0.52 or 0.33 mm²), about 7.5 millimetres (0.30 in) apart.
A 'universal' cable would have four drive connectors, two for each size of FDD, although cables which have only two drive connectors are common. The cable is normally a ribbon cable. For IBM-compatible floppy controllers, a twist in the cable reverses the order of conductors 10 through 16 for the second connector.
Male pin headers are often associated with ribbon cable connectors. [4] When used alone, they can be recipients of jumpers, which have spacings of 2.54 mm (0.1 in) and 2.00 mm (0.079 in). [5] Header types can be categorized by their pitch (uniform distance between pins measured from center to center). Some common header pitches are: [1]
An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
Ribbon cable – Useful when many wires are required. This type of cable can easily flex, and it is designed to handle low-level voltages. Shielded cable – Used for sensitive electronic circuits or to provide protection in high-voltage applications. Single cable (from time to time this name is used for wire) Structured cabling; Submersible cable
Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...
Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on.
Voice coils wound with flattened wire, called ribbon-wire, provide a higher packing density in the magnetic gap than coils with round wire. Some coils are made with surface-sealed bobbin and collar materials so they may be immersed in a ferrofluid which assists in cooling the coil, by conducting heat away from the coil and into the magnet ...
