The BM10B-PASS-1-TFT(LF)(SN): The 3 A per-contact current rating with tin-plated mating surface is typical for signal-level wire-to-board interconnects — the tin limits mating cycles to around 30, but keeps contact resistance stable in low-vibration indoor equipment.
SMT Assembly and Board Retention
Surface-mount termination with board guide, pick-and-place pad, and solder retention features.
Mated Stacking Heights and Mating Half
Supports three mated stacking heights: 11.1 mm, 16 mm, and 16.2 mm, depending on the mating PA receptacle housing and terminal selection. The 8.89 mm insulation height gives room for the locking ramp mechanism. Mates with JST PA series crimp-style receptacle housings (e.g., PAP-10V-S) using the appropriate crimp terminal (e.g., SPHD-002T-P0.5).
The base product number BM10B-PA covers the family; this specific suffix (PASS-1-TFT(LF)(SN)) denotes the SMT, tape-and-reel, lead-free version.
The PA series includes 9-position (BM09B-PASS-1-TFT) and 12-position (BM12B-PASS-1-TFT) siblings with identical pitch, current rating, and features. The 10-position version fills the middle of the range — choose the position count that matches the BOM circuit count exactly; the footprint and housing keying differ per position count.
