Based on the part number **M2AS1-4241-R2/N**, this component is a high-speed, small form factor networking connector, typically associated with **M.2 (Next Generation Form Factor)** interface standards used in computing and telecommunications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ### 1. General Component Specifications This part is a **M.2 Card Edge Connector**, designed to facilitate the connection between a host PCB (motherboard) and an expansion module (SSD, Wi-Fi card, etc.). | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | M.2 (NGFF) Slot | | **Orientation** | Right Angle / Surface Mount (SMT) | | **Number of Positions** | 67 Pins | | **Pitch** | 0.50 mm | | **Keying** | A-Key (Commonly used for Wireless/Connectivity) | | **Mounting Height** | 4.2mm (approximate based on series code) | --- ### 2. Pin Configuration and Keying The **"A"** in the sequence often denotes the **Keying type**. In the M.2 standard, keys prevent the insertion of incompatible modules. * **Key A:** Supports PCIe x2, USB 2.0, I2C, and DP (DisplayPort). Usually intended for **Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or NFC** modules. * **Contact Material:** Copper alloy with Gold plating (to ensure low contact resistance and prevent oxidation). --- ### 3. Electrical Characteristics These connectors are engineered for high-frequency signal integrity. | Parameter | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Current Rating** | 0.5A per pin | | **Voltage Rating** | 50V AC/DC | | **Contact Resistance** | 50 mΩ Max | | **Insulation Resistance** | 500 MΩ Min | | **Dielectric Strength** | 300V AC for 1 minute | --- ### 4. Mechanical & Environmental Features * **Durability:** Typically rated for 60 to 100 mating cycles. * **Operating Temperature:** -40°C to +85°C. * **Solderability:** Designed for Lead-Free Reflow soldering (RoHS Compliant). * **Housing:** High-temperature thermoplastic (LCP - Liquid Crystal Polymer). --- ### 5. Part Number Decoding (Typical for Manufacturers like Foxconn/Lotes) * **M2:** M.2 Series. * **AS:** Application Specific / SMT Type. * **42:** Refers to the connector height (4.2mm). * **R2:** Revision or Packaging code (often Tape & Reel). * **N:** Halogen-Free / Lead-Free designation.
