The **M2AS1-5114-R2** is a specialized high-speed connector component, typically part of the **M2AS series** manufactured by vendors like **Amphenol** or **FCI/Bergquist**. These parts are primarily used in high-density backplane applications and data communication equipment. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the general electronic and physical characteristics associated with this specific part series: | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | High-Speed Backplane Connector / Header | | **Configuration** | Right-Angle (R2 designation often refers to specific pin geometry) | | **Number of Pins** | Varies by configuration (usually high-density 50-200+) | | **Pitch** | Typically 1.0mm to 2.0mm | | **Data Rate Support** | Optimized for Differential Signals (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet) | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy with Gold over Nickel Plating | --- ### 2. Electronic Functionality The M2AS1-5114-R2 is designed to maintain signal integrity across PCB interfaces. Its electronic role includes: * **Impedance Control:** The internal geometry of the pins is designed to match a specific differential impedance (usually 85Ω or 100Ω) to minimize signal reflection. * **Crosstalk Reduction:** The shielding and grounding arrangement within the connector body are structured to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) between adjacent high-speed channels. * **Current Rating:** While primarily for data, it typically supports a low current per pin (approx. 0.5A to 1.0A) for signaling and low-power logic. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown (Typical) While proprietary to the manufacturer, the code generally breaks down as follows: 1. **M2AS1:** Series identifier (High-speed AirMax or similar architecture). 2. **5114:** Specific internal configuration, pin count, or housing dimensions. 3. **R2:** Revision 2 or **Right-Angle** orientation with specific lead lengths for through-hole or SMT mounting. --- ### 4. Common Applications These parts are found in robust electronic environments: * **Telecommunications:** Network switches and high-capacity routers. * **Servers:** Connecting daughtercards to the motherboard/backplane. * **Industrial Computing:** High-density I/O modules requiring reliable signal transmission.
