The **B2REP-GC** is a specific electronic component belonging to the **RE series** manufactured by **JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)**. It is a wire-to-board connector designed for high-density mounting. --- ### 1. General Specifications The B2REP-GC is a shroudless, crimp-style connector. Below are the primary technical specifications: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | JST (Japan Solderless Terminals) | | **Series** | RE Series | | **Number of Positions** | 2 | | **Pitch** | 2.54 mm (0.100") | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole, Right Angle | | **Current Rating** | 2A AC/DC (using AWG #24) | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Contact Resistance** | 20 mΩ Max (Initial) | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify the physical characteristics of the part: * **B**: Stands for "Board" side (Header). * **2**: Indicates the number of circuits (2 pins). * **RE**: Represents the RE Series family. * **P**: Indicates the part is a **Plug** or Header. * **GC**: Refers to the specific design variation (typically relating to the guide or plating style). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics The B2REP-GC is favored in consumer electronics and industrial controls for the following reasons: #### A. Space Efficiency With a 2.54mm pitch, it is compatible with standard breadboards and proto-boards, yet it maintains a low profile compared to shielded headers like the XH or VH series. #### B. Retention Mechanism Unlike standard friction-fit headers, the RE series often features a secure locking mechanism when paired with the corresponding housing, ensuring that vibrations do not cause a disconnect. #### C. Material Composition * **Post:** Brass, Copper-undercoated, Tin-plated. * **Wafer:** Nylon 66 (UL94V-0 rated), which provides excellent heat resistance during the soldering process. --- ### 4. Compatible Components To use this part in a circuit, it must be paired with the correct mating parts: 1. **Mating Housing:** RE-02 (2-circuit female housing). 2. **Crimp Contacts:** RF-SC series pins (e.g., RF-SC2210). --- ### 5. Common Applications * **Internal Power Supply:** Small current delivery to LEDs or sensors. * **Signal Transmission:** Data lines between PCBs. * **Consumer Appliances:** Control boards in air conditioners or microwave ovens.
