The **17RS-06-R** is a specific electronic component typically categorized as a **Ribbon Cable Connector** or a **ZIF/LIF (Zero Insertion Force / Low Insertion Force) Socket**. These parts are widely used for connecting Flexible Flat Cables (FFC) or Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications The part number follows a standard nomenclature used by various manufacturers (such as JST, HRS, or generic equivalents) for ribbon connectors. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | FFC/FPC Connector | | **Number of Positions** | 17 Pins | | **Pitch (Spacing)** | 1.0mm or 1.25mm (Varies by manufacturer) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole or SMT (Surface Mount) | | **Contact Orientation** | Straight (Vertical) or Right Angle | | **Termination Style** | Solder | ### 2. Key Features * **17-Pin Configuration:** Designed to handle 17 individual signal lines. * **Compact Design:** High-density pin spacing allows for data transmission in space-constrained devices. * **RoHS Compliant:** The "R" suffix often denotes compliance with "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" (Lead-free). * **Locking Mechanism:** Depending on the specific series, it may feature a slide-lock or a friction-fit to hold the ribbon cable in place. ### 3. Electrical & Mechanical Properties To ensure circuit integrity, these parts adhere to the following typical electrical standards: * **Current Rating:** Usually 0.5A to 1.0A per contact. * **Voltage Rating:** Typically 50V to 125V AC/DC. * **Contact Resistance:** $\le$ 20m$\Omega$ (initial). * **Insulation Resistance:** $\ge$ 500M$\Omega$. * **Operating Temperature:** Generally $-25^\circ\text{C}$ to $+85^\circ\text{C}$. ### 4. Common Applications These connectors are found in consumer electronics where slim wiring is required: 1. **LCD Displays:** Connecting the screen panel to the main controller board. 2. **Printers:** Connecting the moving print head to the logic board. 3. **Laptops/Keyboards:** Internal connections between peripherals and the motherboard. 4. **Medical Devices:** Handheld diagnostic tools requiring lightweight cabling. --- ### 5. Identification Schematic If you are looking at the part, the physical structure usually consists of: * **Housing:** High-temperature plastic (LCP or Nylon). * **Contacts:** Phosphor bronze with Tin or Gold plating. * **Solder Tabs:** Metallic tabs on the sides for mechanical stability on the PCB.
