The part number **10RS-1D-R6-R/BL** refers to a specialized **Ribbon Cable Connector** (typically a Wire-to-Board IDC connector) manufactured by **JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)**. Below is a detailed breakdown of the electronic specifications and characteristics for this component. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) | | **Pitch** | 2.5 mm | | **Number of Circuits** | 10 Positions | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (Vertical/Straight) | | **Housing Material** | Nylon 66, UL94V-0 | | **Contact Material** | Phosphor Bronze | | **Plating** | Tin-plated | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Current Rating** | 2A (AC/DC) | --- ## 2. Part Number Nomenclature The alphanumeric string defines the specific configuration of the connector: * **10**: Number of circuits (10 pins). * **RS**: Series name (JST RS Series). * **1D**: Designates the specific body style/entry angle. * **R6**: Refers to the specific receptacle configuration or internal variant. * **R/BL**: Indicates the color coding (typically **Red/Blue** markings for alignment) or packaging type. --- ## 3. Key Features ### IDC Technology The "RS" series utilizes **Insulation Displacement** technology. This allows the connector to be terminated to a ribbon cable without stripping the insulation from individual wires, significantly speeding up the assembly process. ### Compact Design With a 2.5mm pitch, it is designed for high-density electronic assemblies where space is at a premium, such as: * Internal computer peripherals. * Industrial control panels. * Consumer electronics (TVs, Audio systems). ### Polarization and Locking These connectors usually feature a physical polarization key to prevent incorrect mating (reversing the polarity), ensuring the circuit is connected safely every time. --- ## 4. Application Environments This part is commonly found in environments requiring reliable, semi-permanent wire-to-board connections: 1. **Office Automation:** Printers and scanners. 2. **Home Appliances:** Control boards for washing machines or refrigerators. 3. **Telecommunications:** Signal routing between PCBs. ---
