3M 3659 Series Flat Cable, 9 Conductors, 1.27mm Pitch - 3659/09

This flat cable provides multi-conductor connectivity for internal electronic and automation wiring, delivering a Compact ribbon-style solution for signal and low-voltage power distribution. It is intended for installations where organised, parallel conductor routing and compatibility with pitch-mated connectors are required, and it operates within common equipment temperature ranges.

Features and Benefits:

• 9 conductors enable consolidated wiring and simplified routing
• 28AWG tin-plated copper minimises contact resistance and corrosion
• 1.27mm pitch supports standard IDC connector mating
• PVC jacket with VW-1 rating offers flame resistance in confined spaces
• Rated to 300V for typical low-voltage control and signal circuits
• Operates between -20°C and 80°C for varied indoor environments

Applications

• Suitable for internal wiring in control panels and enclosures
• Ideal for ribbon-to-board connector assemblies on devices
• Used with automation harnesses for Compact signal distribution
• Can be used for interconnects in electrical test rigs and fixtures
• Used for cable runs in production machinery requiring organised conductors

How are the individual conductors constructed to handle flexing?

Each conductor is formed from seven fine strands of tin-plated copper to provide some flexibility while maintaining conductivity.

What insulation and sheathing materials protect against abrasion and heat?

Conductors are insulated and enveloped in a black polyvinyl chloride jacket selected for mechanical protection and thermal performance up to its maximum operating temperature.

Is the cable suitable for substitution where high-flex continuous motion is required?

It is not specified as a high-flex variant, so it is more appropriate for stationary or limited-movement internal wiring rather than continuous-flex applications.

Which safety or material restrictions govern its use in assemblies?

The construction meets RoHS requirements, restricting certain hazardous substances in component materials.

How does the cable’s geometry affect connector compatibility?

The flat arrangement with 1.27mm conductor spacing aligns with IDC-style connector pitches commonly used in electronics.
