Inverted Thru Board Card Edge: BTB
00-9159
AVX has developed the 1-Piece bottom entry card edge connector to
allow a perpendicular PCB to be mated to a top mounted main FR4 or
metal core PCB from the bottom side. The most popular application on
the market is in the LED bulb market where the FR4 driver card needs to
mate to the top pads on a metal core LED board. A unique design
feature of the AVX connector is that it allows for both a 1.6mm and
0.8mm mating PCB thickness, giving designers flexibility in their PCB
layout and selection. The additional “Anti-Touch” cap can be ordered
pre-assembled onto the connector or separately. This component
protects an individual for electrical contact if the lens comes off or the
bulb is broken. This is a UL mandated safety requirement.
The connectors offer a range of 2 positions to 6 positions in order to add
additional functionality in the application design such as color control or
specific control lines. The connector is UL rated with halogen free
material and capable of operating temperatures up to 120ºC.
