The **M2PHS2L-14-R/CE** is a specific variant of a mechanical/electronic component, typically categorized as a **Modular Power Connector** or a **High-Density Power Strip** header. These components are critical for power distribution on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) where high current and reliability are required. Below is a breakdown of its technical characteristics and electronic properties. ### 1. General Specifications Based on standard naming conventions for this series (often associated with brands like Positronic or similar high-reliability connector manufacturers): | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | M2PHS2L-14-R/CE | | **Contact Density** | High Density / Modular | | **Number of Positions** | 14 Pins/Contacts | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (typically) | | **Termination Style** | Solder or Press-fit (depending on exact suffix) | | **RoHS Compliance** | Yes (indicated by -R) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Features #### A. Contact Material and Plating The internal contacts are the core electronic parts. They are usually made of a **Copper Alloy** (for high conductivity) and plated with **Gold over Nickel**. * **Gold Plating:** Ensures low contact resistance and prevents oxidation. * **Nickel Underplate:** Acts as a diffusion barrier to prevent base metals from migrating to the surface. #### B. Housing and Insulation The body is constructed from high-temperature **Thermoplastics** (e.g., LCP or PBT). * **Dielectric Strength:** Designed to withstand high voltages without breakdown between adjacent pins. * **Flammability Rating:** Usually UL 94V-0 rated. #### C. Power Handling Capabilities These connectors are designed for "Power-to-Board" applications. * **Current Rating:** Often ranges from 3A to 10A per contact, depending on the thermal environment and wire gauge used. * **Voltage Rating:** Typically rated for 250V AC/DC or higher. --- ### 3. Suffix Breakdown (Component Coding) The alphanumeric string provides specific details about the electronic configuration: * **M2:** Often denotes the series or shell size. * **PHS:** Power High-Density Strip configuration. * **14:** Indicates the total number of electrical contacts. * **-R:** Generally signifies **RoHS Compliance** (Lead-free). * **CE:** Often refers to a specific **Commercial/European** standard or a specific mechanical locking feature. --- ### 4. Typical Applications These parts are used as the physical interface in the following electronic systems: 1. **Industrial Power Supplies:** Connecting AC/DC modules to the main board. 2. **Telecommunications:** Backplane power distribution. 3. **Medical Equipment:** High-reliability signal and power transmission. 4. **Server Racks:** Modular blade server power interfaces. ---
