Abstract
The present invention provides an extruded flexible flat cable, which has a superior formability, flexibility, adhesiveness, and fire-retardancy, with a low manufacturing cost. The flexible flat cable of the present invention is adapted for sliding door of a motor vehicle and also other parts. The extruded flexible flat cable has a conductor covered with an insulation layer extrude-formed with an extrusion molding method. The insulation layer is formed from a fire-retardant resin composition containing a modified polybutylene terephthalate and a fire-retardant additive. The fire-retardant resin composition has a melting point of 170-215 degrees C. measured in reference to JIS K7121 with a differential thermal analysis at a rate of temperature increase of 10 degrees C. per minute.

An extruded flexible flat cable having
- a conductor covered with an insulation layer extrude-formed with an extrusion molding method,
- the insulation layer being formed from a fire-retardant resin composition containing a resin composition and a fire-retardant additive,
- the fire-retardant resin composition having a melting point of 170-215 degrees C. measured with a differential thermal analysis at a rate of temperature increase of 10 degrees C. per minute,
- wherein a resin component of the resin composition consists of a modified polybutylene terephthalate,
- wherein the fire-retardant additive consists of organic/inorganic acid,
- wherein the fire-retardant resin composition includes 1 to 9 parts by weight of 1,2-diethyl phosphinic acid aluminum salt and/or an oxo acid salt with respect to 100 parts by weight of the modified polybutylene terephthalate, as the fire-retardant additive and
- wherein the conductor has a thickness of at least 0.1 mm and the flat cable has a flexion cycle of at least 7*104 measured with a flexural fatigue tester at a flexion radius of R=10 and at a temperature of 25±3 degrees C.
