The **WJPAD2-762-R** is a specific surface-mount electronic component typically categorized as a **Wire-to-Board Connector** or a **Jumper/Bridge** component. These parts are often used in LED lighting modules, power supplies, and automotive electronics to create secure electrical connections between PCBs or power inputs. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the general characteristics typically associated with this series of connectors: | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Board-to-Board / Wire-to-Board Connector | | **Pitch** | 7.62 mm | | **Current Rating** | High Current (Often 10A - 20A depending on trace) | | **Mounting Type** | SMT (Surface Mount Technology) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle / Horizontal | | **Material** | High-temperature Thermoplastic / Copper Alloy | --- ### 2. Functional Breakdown #### Mechanical Design * **Low Profile:** Designed to minimize the height on the PCB, which is critical for slim electronic assemblies like LED backlights. * **Tape & Reel Packaging:** The "-R" suffix usually denotes that the part is supplied in **Reel** format, making it compatible with high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly machines. #### Electrical Performance * **High Conductivity:** Uses specialized copper alloys with tin or gold plating to ensure low contact resistance. * **Insulation Resistance:** Designed with high-performance plastics to prevent arcing or leakage between pins, especially important given the 7.62mm pitch which suggests higher voltage capabilities. --- ### 3. Common Applications 1. **LED Strip Interconnects:** Used to bridge power from one LED board to the next without bulky wiring. 2. **Power Distribution:** Serving as a "jumper" to carry high current across different sections of a motherboard. 3. **Industrial Controls:** Providing a modular connection point for sensors or external power sources. --- ### 4. Footprint Example (Generic) When designing a PCB for this part, the CAD footprint usually requires large solder pads to handle the physical stress and heat dissipation. ```cpp // Representative Pad Dimensions for 7.62mm Pitch Connectors // Note: Always refer to the official manufacturer datasheet for exact tolerances. Pad_Width = 3.5mm; Pad_Height = 4.0mm; Pitch_X = 7.62mm; Solder_Mask_Expansion = 0.1mm; ```
