BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 Datasheet/PDFThe BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 is a type of connector belonging to the larger category of rectangular connectors-headers, receptacles, and female sockets. This specific type of connector is a 6-pin female socket with a left-angled single housing. The single housing allows the applicator to use a variety of different configurations to fit the component for assembly and mounting. Generally, a variety of materials such as UL94V-2 and UL94V-0 connectors can be used. This female socket is designed to give a reliable and efficient connection in everyday use, and is typically used to complete electrical circuit boards, AC/DC motor control panels, and various prototypes.
The BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 is designed to perform well in many operating temperatures due to its operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Operating at other than the designated temperatures may lead to damage or malfunction of the connector. In addition, the standard flammability grade for this connector is UL94V-2. Also, it contains multiple locking features, a surfact-mounting and a soldering-type insertion area, electrodes, and insulation body for easier fabrication.
Working Principle
The BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 connector features a spring contact terminal, which has flat, spring-loaded ridges for contact with the PCB or mating socket. The spring action of the contact terminal ensures a good electrical connection and keeps dirt and dust out of the socket. The contact terminals may be equipped with an insulation displacement contact to minimize contact resistance. Additionally, the terminals are crimp-resistant and offer superior shock and vibration protection. The connector also has a secure contact design, which prevents the terminals from becoming loose during installation.
The BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 also features a recessed barrier-type cable entry. The recessed entry allows precise insertion of the cable and a positive seating for the cable. The cable is securely retained within the connector. The connector has a recessed ground spring that provides an efficient connection with the PCB and keeps contact terminals from becoming over-heated, thus keeping the system in optimal electrical performance. The ground spring is designed to protect the system from the effects of electrostatic interference.
The BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 is also designed with a unique insulation body that is constructed with UL approved plastics for reliable and long-term performance. The insulation body also has a stiffening rib design to ensure the proper alignment of contact terminals. The stiffening rib design ensures that the contact terminals remain in the proper position during insertion and extraction. The insulation body also has a slotted design for better mounting and a snap-lock feature for easy installation.
Application Field
The BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 is ideal for a variety of electronic applications, ranging from general-purpose signal and motor control to more specialized power and transmission. This connector is especially well-suited for automotive, medical, and telecommunications systems. Due to its high insulation resistance and superior current leakage characteristics, the BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 is suitable for use in circuits with high voltage and high current usage. It is also widely used in power distribution systems, high-speed communications networks, and military equipment.
The BCS-140-L-D-DE-015 connector is also designed for use as an interconnection between printed circuit boards and cables. It is also used in DC, AC, and PWM motor control circuits for powering and controlling motors of any size. Common applications include industrial automation, consumer electronics, computer networks, and high-speed communications networks.
