Reference specifications
Selection reference. Published third-party figures below describe specific reference configurations; they are not Conmoly guaranteed values or certifications. Confirm the final construction and test requirements with engineering.
Dynamic life is based on a 50 mm bend radius and up to 4 g; IDC and antistatic versions have their own electrical and environmental values.

Available configurations
| Standard clean direction | For clean automated equipment and controlled horizontal or vertical motion. |
|---|---|
| Antistatic direction | For ESD-sensitive handling, inspection and packaging equipment. |
| IDC-compatible direction | Pitch and conductor layout defined around insulation-displacement termination where appropriate. |
Cable construction
| Fine-stranded conductors | Stranding balances electrical resistance and fatigue behavior. |
|---|---|
| Flexible insulation | Low-stress material protects conductors while maintaining pitch. |
| Parallel layout | Places conductors near the neutral plane and controls relative movement. |
| Reinforcement/slip layer | Stabilizes width and manages tension, friction and local stress. |
| Low-friction surface | Supports repeated travel and selected clean-environment direction. |
Selection checklist
| Circuit content | Signal, power, grounding and optional optical/pneumatic elements |
|---|---|
| Cable geometry | Width, thickness, pitch and conductor count |
| Motion profile | Stroke, speed, acceleration, radius and cycles |
| Orientation | Horizontal, vertical and guided/free-span routing |
| Environment | Cleanliness, ESD, temperature, humidity and vacuum |
| Termination | IDC, solder, crimp or custom connector assembly |
Applications
- Wafer and display handling
- Linear stages and inspection equipment
- Pick-and-place and packaging
- Cleanroom automation
Interfaces & termination
- IDC and fine-pitch connector directions
- Equipment-specific end terminations
- Flat-to-round transition assemblies
Project validation checklist
- Full-stroke dynamic flex cycling
- Electrical comparison before and after cycling
- Surface wear, particle and ESD direction tests
- Clamp, transition and connector retention
Flex life and clean performance are functions of radius, stroke, acceleration, load, installation and material configuration and must be validated on the target equipment.
