The **IPBD-02-S-K** is a high-reliability connector component manufactured by **Samtec**. It belongs to the **Mini Mate®** family, which is designed for isolated power applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Samtec | | **Series** | IPBD (Mini Mate®) | | **Pitch** | 0.100" (2.54 mm) | | **Number of Positions** | 02 (Single row, 2 positions) | | **Housing Material** | Nylon (UL 94V-0) | | **Contact Type** | Socket (Female) | | **Mounting Type** | Cable Mount (Discrete Wire) | | **Color** | Black | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by Samtec to define the physical characteristics of the connector: * **IPBD**: Series prefix for the **Isolated Power Discrete Wire** socket housing. * **-02**: Represents the number of positions (in this case, 2 pins). * **-S**: Indicates a **Single Row** configuration. * **-K**: Keying option (usually indicates a polarizing key to prevent incorrect mating). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics * **Isolation:** The "I" in IPBD stands for **Isolated**. The housing design ensures that each contact is physically separated by a plastic wall. This prevents arcing and allows for higher voltage ratings compared to standard headers. * **Current Rating:** While the housing itself is passive, when paired with standard Samtec CC79R/CC79L contacts, it can typically handle **3A to 4.8A per pin** depending on the wire gauge (AWG) used. * **Voltage Rating:** Designed to meet high-voltage safety standards (often rated up to 400V AC or higher depending on the specific application environment). * **Mating:** This housing is intended to be used with **IPBT series** terminal power headers. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its rugged and isolated design, the IPBD-02-S-K is commonly found in: 1. **Industrial Controls:** Power distribution for sensors and actuators. 2. **Power Supplies:** Internal DC-to-DC power routing. 3. **Medical Equipment:** High-reliability power connections requiring physical isolation. 4. **Automotive Prototyping:** Secure connections for auxiliary electronics. --- ### 5. Required Accessories Note that the **IPBD-02-S-K is just the plastic housing**. To create a functional cable assembly, you will also need: * **Crimp Terminals:** Samtec **CC79R** (Reel) or **CC79L** (Loose) series. * **Discrete Wire:** Typically 20 to 24 AWG wire. * **Crimping Tool:** A manual or automated tool specifically designed for Samtec CC79 contacts.
