3M 3517 Series Flat Cable, Shielded, 1.27 mm Pitch, 40, 30.48 m Length

This flat cable is a screened, multi-conductor assembly designed for interconnect tasks in industrial and electronic systems where space-efficient wiring and signal integrity are required. It combines a Compact conductor layout with a PVC outer jacket to perform reliably across typical ambient conditions encountered in automation and electrical installations.

• 40 conductors deliver dense signal routing in limited space • 1.27mm pitch maintains accurate pin alignment for connectors • 28AWG stranded tinned copper conductors reduce contact resistance • Screened construction mitigates electromagnetic interference effects • PVC black jacket permits operation down to -20°C and up to 80°C • Rated for 300V to support low-voltage control and signal circuits

• Suitable for connecting control modules in automation cabinets • Ideal for ribbon-style terminations on test fixtures • Used with multiway connectors in industrial instrumentation • Can be used for internal wiring of electrical panels and devices

Flexibility comes from stranded construction with seven strands per core, which balances bend endurance with consistent conductivity.

The PVC outer sheath supports a continuous operating range from -20°C to 80°C suitable for many indoor and sheltered equipment rooms.

The screened layer reduces susceptibility to external electromagnetic fields, improving signal quality when routed adjacent to power cables.

The 1.27mm conductor pitch requires compatible 40-pin header or ribbon-style connectors that match the specified pitch for reliable mating.
