The FloppyFlex Mini Tool Kit is available with necessary tools for cutting and terminating FloppyFlex
assemblies. The Mini Tool Kit contains a ratcheting cutter, insertion spreader, and grippers. The larger of
the two spreaders are used for FloppyFlex Large, Small and Flat profile products, while the smaller spreader
is used for FloppyFlex Mini profile. We highly recommend using the Mini Tool Kit for optimal results and
reduced risk of damage to the product.

FloppyFlex contains an inner flexible PCB which is designed with segments of LEDs (sometimes referred to
as pixels) that are repeated throughout the length of the product. Each segment is identical and can fully
function as a standalone run of FloppyFlex. The length of each segment is specified as the
Minimum Cut
Length
and are indicated on the exterior body with a dotted line
Cut Mark
. These cut marks indicate safe
cutting locations which can be terminated as either input or output side of a FloppyFlex run.
Different styles of FloppyFlex can have varying
amounts of LEDs per segment which affects the
Minimum Cut Length. Please refer to the product’s
individual specification sheet for more information.
