Ribbon cables can be quickly and easily installed using this one piece fixing clip. It offers the benefits of being easily releasable and re-usable for additional or replacement of cables. The clip is ideal for use in applications which are difficult to access, or for areas where a self adhesive is the only possible fixing method (for example, where holes would be unacceptable). The FKH clip is designed to retain flat ribbon cables in applications including computer equipment, gaming machines and domestic appliances. Supplied as a screw mount using M3 screws. The flat ribbon cable clip can be attached with either high-quality acrylic tape or M3 screws. The handy quick lock/release allows you to quickly open and close the clamp. The flat ribbon cable clip is made of a high-quality, modified impact resistant polyamide 6.6 and can, therefore, be used in especially dry areas. The flat cable is routed and held securely due to the flat edges and the especially flexible wings.

Troubleshooting
Clip does not close securely
Ensure the flat ribbon cable is correctly seated within the clip's wings and that no obstructions are preventing closure. Check that the cable is not too thick for the clip's capacity.
Screw mounting is unstable
Verify that the M3 screws are the correct size and are fully engaged in the mounting surface. Ensure the mounting surface itself is rigid and suitable for screw fixing.
Ribbon cable feels loose
Check that the flexible wings are applying adequate pressure. If the cable is very thin, consider using a slightly smaller clip or adding a secondary securing method if necessary.
