Inverted Thru Board Card Edge: BTB

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.
