Ribbon Wire Flat 20Way 1 Feet

This 20-Way Flat Ribbon Cable sold by the foot allowing you to purchase exactly the length you need for your project without committing to a full reel. Whether you need a short 6-inch jumper or a longer multi-foot run, simply specify your required length in feet at checkout and receive a clean, precision-cut section ready for IDC termination or direct soldering.

Each conductor is formed from 7 strands of 36 AWG tinned copper wire, giving an overall gauge of 28 AWG, with PVC insulation and a standard pitch of 1.27mm (0.05 inch) between conductors compatible with all commonly available IDC connectors and 2.54mm pitch pin headers. A red stripe marks the first conductor along one edge for reliable polarity identification and error-free connector crimping. The flat laminated structure maintains precise, consistent spacing between all 20 conductors, ensuring clean IDC termination without conductor misalignment.

At 25.4mm wide and 1.0mm thick, the cable routes neatly through enclosure slots, cable channels, and multi-layer PCB assemblies. It can also be split into narrower bundles by tearing between conductors making a 20-way strip easily customisable for 10-way, 14-way, or any other width your project requires. Ideal for GPIO breakout boards, IDC headers, parallel data buses, LCD modules, disk drive interfaces, and any internal electronics wiring application.
