I'm not sure without picture and Phil sounds like he has a good technical term but most flexible cables I've just heard called ribbon cables. But I'm probably lumping all flat cables into the same category as a floppy drive/ide type cable.

HELP needed on a vocabulary problem ;-)
The TECHNICAL problem : I am repairing a not so old electric typewriter. I need to replace what I call : a flexible printed circuit ( strip / ribbon / what's the "correct" word ??? ) *** AND *** the associated connector I searched Mouse, Digikey, Arrow, etc ... catalogues and find absolutly nothing !! I think I DO NOT use the correct WORD(s) for my search. What are the "usual" words for the TWO items I describe ?? Many thanks for your help, Guys
