The JST RSXA Series is a 2.5mm pitch IDC RAST style connector, which incorporates JST’s distinctive IDC Twin U-Slot contact design. This RAST 2.5 compliant card edge system is available in a variety of locking and polarising combinations.

Although RAST (Raster Anschluss Steck Technik, which is German for ‘grid connection plug technology’), was standardised as a terminal block specification back in the 1980s for domestic appliance products, it has now evolved to be utilised in a variety of applications and is ideal for high volume production environments.

The RSXA Connector is available in 2 to 10 circuit variations, with a current rating of 4Amps (AWG#22), 250V AC/DC Voltage, operating temperature range of -25OC to +105OC and a material rating of UL94V-0.

IDC Benefits

  • The benefits of IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) is that;
    • Shorter and optimal harness production times can be achieved and low cost realised.
    • Exceptional harness quality can be consistently accomplished.

Card Edge PCB mounting

  • Designed to straddle the edge of the PCB, thus increasing component real estate and wire routing flexibility.

Secure locking feature

  • The connector has a selection of locking features that prevents accidental disconnection due to restricted wire routing or high environmental vibration. Depending on the application and PCB design, this connector can be;
