The part number **10RS-1B-R0-R/C03** typically refers to a specific configuration of a **Ribbon Cable Connector** or a **Board-to-Board Connector**, often associated with manufacturers like JST or similar electronic component providers. Based on standard nomenclature for this series, here is the breakdown of its specifications and electronic characteristics. --- ### 1. Part Number Breakdown The alphanumeric string defines the mechanical and electrical footprint: | Segment | Meaning | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **10** | Circuits | Indicates a **10-pin** (10-position) configuration. | | **RS** | Series Type | Refers to the "RS" series (typically IDC/IDT connectors). | | **1B** | Variation | Defines the orientation (usually **Right Angle** or specific housing style). | | **R0** | Feature Code | Often indicates "No Polarization" or a specific mounting feature. | | **R/C03** | Packaging/Revision | Indicates Reel packaging or a specific compliance revision (e.g., RoHS). | --- ### 2. Technical Specifications These components are designed for signal transmission between Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) or from a PCB to a peripheral device via ribbon cables. | Feature | Typical Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Pitch** | 2.5 mm (Standard for RS series) | | **Current Rating** | 1.0A to 3.0A AC/DC (Depending on wire gauge) | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Contact Resistance** | Max 10mΩ to 20mΩ | | **Insulation Resistance** | Min 1,000MΩ | | **Temperature Range** | -25°C to +85°C | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics * **IDC Technology:** This part often utilizes **Insulation Displacement Contact** (IDC). This allows the connector to be terminated to a ribbon cable without stripping the insulation from individual wires, ensuring a gas-tight, reliable connection. * **Mounting Type:** The "1B" designation usually suggests a **Through-Hole** mounting style on the PCB, providing high mechanical stability compared to surface-mount (SMD) alternatives. * **Housing Material:** Typically made of Nylon 66 (UL94V-0), which provides excellent electrical insulation and heat resistance during soldering. * **Plating:** Contacts are generally Tin-plated over a phosphor bronze base to balance cost and conductivity while preventing oxidation. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Internal Computer Wiring:** Connecting motherboards to peripheral headers. * **Industrial Controls:** Signal routing between PLC modules. * **Consumer Electronics:** Linking LCD displays to main control boards. * **LED Signage:** Distributing power and data across modular LED panels.
