Ricoh Gen5i TH5241 Printhead Cable Set (65cm, 30-Pin /25-Pin)
type: Product
description: The Ricoh Gen5i TH5241 Printhead Cable Set (65cm) contains the complete pair of flat flexible cables required for a correct TH5241 printhead installation — one 30-pin cable and one 25-pin cable, both 65cm in length with same-direction connector orientation. These cables carry high-speed data signals between the TH5241 printhead and the printer's control board. Replace both cables simultaneously at every TH5241 printhead installation — reusing old cables from a replaced head is one of the most common causes of premature failure on a new TH5241.

The TH5241 printhead connects to the printer's control board via two flat flexible cables that bend and flex with every carriage pass during printing. Over time — typically hundreds of millions of flex cycles in a production environment — micro-fractures form in the copper conductor traces at the cable's bend radius. These fractures are invisible to the naked eye but cause intermittent signal loss that produces random nozzle dropout, banding, and colour channel failure symptoms identical to a failing printhead. Technicians who install a new TH5241 on old cables frequently encounter the same symptoms within days and incorrectly conclude the new head is defective. The correct service protocol is to replace both cables at every printhead installation — which is why this set supplies both the 30-pin and 25-pin cables together.
