BTFW10P-3SBTE1LF

Rectangular connectors are important for all sorts of electronic applications, from handheld devices to large industrial machines. The BTFW10P-3SBTE1LF is a type of rectangular connector, in the “arrays, edge type, mezzanine (board to board)” category. This means that it is suitable for connecting multiple circuit boards in a larger system.

Connector Details

The BTFW10P-3SBTE1LF has a total of 10 contacts, arranged in a 1 x 10 format, with all contacts on the same edge. The contacts complete a connection when two mating boards are brought together, and are rated for a current of up to 5 A. There is also 250 VAC or 500 VDC insulation voltage.

The connector has a narrow profile, which makes it suitable for applications where boards are stacked closely together. It also features a bayonet style locking mechanism to ensure that the boards stay connected securely. The contact material is phosphor bronze, with tin plating, and the insulator is made from high temperature thermoplastic.

Application Fields

The BTFW10P-3SBTE1LF is a versatile connector, suitable for a wide range of applications. It can be used to connect multiple printed circuit boards together, in order to create a larger system. This makes it a popular choice for applications involving larger electronic devices, such as HVAC, security systems, industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and more.

The connector is also suitable for use in medical equipment, such as monitoring and diagnostic equipment, as it is immune to electrostatic discharge. It can also be used in aerospace and military applications, due to its rugged construction and high current rating.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BTFW10P-3SBTE1LF is simple yet effective. The mating boards are connected together using the bayonet style locking mechanism. This establishes the physical connection between the two boards, completing the electrical connection. The connection can then be secured using optional screws.

The contacts are made from phosphor bronze and tin plated, which ensures a reliable connection. The contacts are also rated for high current, meaning that they can be used for high power applications. The insulation is made from a high temperature thermoplastic, which is resistant to shock and vibration.

Conclusion

The BTFW10P-3SBTE1LF is a type of rectangular connector, designed for use in applications requiring multiple circuit board connections. It has a narrow profile and bayonet style locking mechanism, which makes it suitable for tight spaces. It is also rated for high current, making it suitable for high power applications. It is suitable for use in industrial, automotive, medical, and military applications.
