Description

A micro ribbon connector contains two parallel rows of pins or sockets in a block shape contained within a D-shaped metal or plastic shield. The shield ensures correct orientation and the metal type shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference. The part containing pin contacts is called the male connector or plug, while that containing socket contacts is called the female connector or socket. The socket's shield fits tightly inside the plug's shield with the metal type shields generally connected to the system shield or frame ground. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing signals, as a by-product of their normal operation, and which causes unwanted signals (interference or noise) to be induced in other circuits. ...


Micro ribbon connectors are produced with either 14, 24, 36, 50 or 64 pins. Different designs allow for panel mounting, board mounting and cable connection. The contacts are available as solder, crimp or insulation displacement. Female connectors are available with bail locks that provide a positive connection to the male connector. Versions using "jack screws" for locking are also available and widely used in the 50-pin telecommunications version.

Deployment: During deployment, the ribbon segments can be fully tested and qualified on the ground before being deployed, since the mechanical connection process is discrete and easily lends itself to full inspection in orbit.
Climber attaches to the lower corner of the lower yoke, (or top of the lower ribbon) and begins to spool in the strain-relief tail, until the ribbon-to-ribbon connection matches the right eyelet of the yoke.
The spool mechanism must be able to handle full ribbon tension, which can reach several times the limit of what the climber traction drive is designed to handle.
