The part number **10RS-6B-R6-R/BL** refers to a specialized **Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) / Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Connector** or jumper assembly. These components are critical in modern electronics for connecting a motherboard to a peripheral (like an LCD screen or keyboard) where space is limited. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Based on standard industry nomenclature for this series, here are the primary specifications: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | FFC/FPC Connector (ZIF or Non-ZIF) | | **Pitch (Spacing)** | 1.0mm (standard for the '10' series) | | **Number of Pins** | 6 Positions / 6 Pins | | **Mounting Orientation** | Right Angle (Horizontal) | | **Contact Material** | Phosphor Bronze (typically Tin or Gold plated) | | **Color/Coding** | Black (indicated by /BL suffix) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number Understanding the code helps in identifying compatible alternatives or replacements: * **10**: Often denotes the **Pitch**. In this context, it represents a **1.0mm pitch** between the centers of each conductor. * **RS**: Refers to the **Series or Style**. "RS" usually indicates a Right Angle SMT (Surface Mount Technology) connector. * **6B**: Indicates the **Number of Circuits**. This is a **6-pin** connector. * **R6**: Refers to the **Packaging**. "R" usually stands for "Tape and Reel," and "6" can denote the specific reel width or quantity. * **R**: Indicates the **Orientation**. Usually confirms Right Angle or a specific contact side (Top or Bottom contact). * **BL**: Color code for **Black**. --- ### 3. Common Applications These connectors are used in compact electronic devices where traditional wires are too bulky: 1. **Consumer Electronics**: Handheld gaming consoles, digital cameras, and tablets. 2. **Display Modules**: Connecting small OLED or LCD screens to a driver board. 3. **Computer Peripherals**: Internal connections for laptop trackpads or power buttons. 4. **Automotive**: Dashboard clusters and infotainment screen interfaces. --- ### 4. Key Installation Considerations * **Contact Side**: FPC connectors are often "Top Contact" or "Bottom Contact." You must ensure the exposed copper of the cable faces the pins of the connector. * **ZIF vs. Non-ZIF**: Check if this is a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) type with a flip-lock actuator or a "Slider" type. Forcing the cable without opening the lock will damage the delicate traces. * **Soldering**: As a Surface Mount Device (SMD), it requires precise solder paste application and reflow, as the plastic housing can melt if hit directly with a high-temperature soldering iron for too long. ---
