The **M2AS1-5113-R/N** is a specialized electronic component, typically categorized as a **D-Subminiature Connector** or a specific **Interface Module**, often used in industrial automation, telecommunications, or military-grade hardware. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and technical specifications. --- ## 1. Core Technical Specifications The following table outlines the general electrical and mechanical properties associated with this part series: | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | D-Sub Connector / Interface Adapter | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (typically for high conductivity) | | **Number of Positions** | Variable (often 9, 15, or 25 pins depending on sub-variant) | | **Termination Style** | Right Angle / PCB Mount | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Current Rating** | 3A to 5A per contact | | **Insulation Resistance** | > 5000 MΩ | | **Operating Temperature** | -55°C to +105°C | --- ## 2. Component Breakdown ### A. Housing and Shielding The suffix **-R** often indicates compliance with **RoHS** (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), while the **/N** usually denotes a **Nickel-plated shell**. Nickel plating provides: * Excellent corrosion resistance. * EMI/RFI shielding to prevent signal interference in high-frequency environments. ### B. Contact Materials The internal pins are typically made of **Phosphor Bronze** or **Brass**, plated with gold over nickel. Gold is used because it does not oxidize, ensuring a reliable low-resistance connection over thousands of mating cycles. ### C. Mounting Style The "AS" designation usually refers to an **Angle or Side-entry** configuration. This is crucial for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layouts where space is limited horizontally, allowing the connector to sit flush with the edge of the board. --- ## 3. Common Applications * **Industrial Control Systems:** Used to connect PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) to external sensors. * **Networking Hardware:** Providing serial communication ports (RS-232/RS-485). * **Test & Measurement:** Used in oscilloscopes and signal generators for robust data transfer. * **Medical Equipment:** High-reliability signal transmission where connection failure is not an option. --- ## 4.
