De Dietrich 82275180 1000 mm de cinta de conexión
This is a De Dietrich 82275180 connecting ribbon, 1000 mm in length, listed under plugs and connectors. A connecting ribbon is a multi-conductor flat cable used to carry low-voltage signals or, in some cases, low-current mains supply between the control board and components such as the burner control, flame safeguard, gas valve, or sensor array. Parts of this type are matched by pin count, pin pitch, and keying arrangement rather than by the specific function they serve; the same cable can often be used across different assemblies if the connector series and terminal layout are identical. When selecting a replacement connecting ribbon, the primary parameters are the number of conductors and the pitch (centre-to-centre distance between pins), followed by the conductor cross-section, insulation temperature class, and overall length. The 1000 mm length given here is the physical distance between the two connector housings; ensure it is sufficient to reach between the board and the component without tension or excessive slack. Terminal type (crimped or IDC) and keying (a physical ridge or notch that prevents misconnection) must match the original. Poor or intermittent contact in a connecting ribbon can mimic almost any electrical fault, from erratic flame detection to complete lockout. When fault-finding, it is common practice to inspect both connectors for corrosion or bent pins, and to measure continuity through each conductor. Ribbon cables that have been repeatedly unplugged or exposed to heat may develop cracked insulation or broken strands near the connector crimp. Always replace with the correct gauge and insulation class for the application.
