The **M2SES-2B1-R2** is a specific part number typically associated with **M.2 (NGFF) connector sockets**, commonly manufactured by companies like **LOTES** or **TE Connectivity**. These are surface-mount (SMT) components used on motherboards or interface cards to house M.2 modules (like SSDs, Wi-Fi cards, or WAN modules).
Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications.
---
### 1. General Specifications
The M2SES series is designed to meet the PCI Express M.2 specification.
| Feature | Specification |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Component Type** | M.2 (NGFF) Connector |
| **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) |
| **Orientation** | Right Angle / Horizontal |
| **Pin Count** | 67-Pin / 75-Position |
| **Pitch** | 0.50 mm |
| **Keying** | Typically **B Key** (check specific datasheet for variations) |

### 2. Key Physical Dimensions
The "R2" suffix usually denotes a specific height or revision. The height is critical for ensuring the M.2 module clears other components on the PCB.
* **Connector Height:** Usually **2.15mm** to **2.25mm** (Common for the -2B1 variant).
* **Body Material:** High-temperature thermoplastic (LCP), UL 94V-0 rated.
* **Contact Material:** Copper Alloy.
* **Plating:** Gold plating on contact areas for high-speed signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

### 3. Electrical Characteristics
These parts are engineered for high-speed data transmission (PCIe Gen 3/4, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0).
| Parameter | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Voltage Rating** | 50V AC/DC |
| **Current Rating** | 0.5A per pin |
| **Contact Resistance** | 55mΩ Max |
| **Insulation Resistance** | 500MΩ Min |
| **Dielectric Strength** | 300V AC for 1 minute |

### 4. Keying and Application
The "2B1" portion of the code often refers to the **Keying**. In the M.2 standard:
* **B Key:** Supports PCIe x2, SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, and audio. Usually used for WWAN (LTE/5G) or SATA SSDs.
* **M Key:** Supports PCIe x4. Usually used for NVMe High-Speed SSDs.
* **Application:** Primarily used in laptops, industrial PCs, and NUCs for modular expansion.
