The part number **48SV2-RHHST-R** identifies a specific configuration of a high-performance **Micro-D connector** manufactured by **AirBorn**. These connectors are designed for mission-critical applications where space is limited and reliability is paramount. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Breakdown The alphanumeric code follows a specific nomenclature that defines the physical and electrical characteristics of the component: | Code Segment | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **48** | Series | Micro-D Series (0.050" / 1.27mm pitch) | | **S** | Gender | Socket (Female) | | **V2** | Shell Material | Polyphenyl Sulfide (PPS) or specific metal variant | | **R** | Termination | Right Angle PC Tail (Through-hole) | | **HH** | Mounting | High-profile hardware or specific mounting ears | | **ST** | Thread/Hardware | Specific screw-lock or threaded insert type | | **R** | RoHS Compliance | Fully compliant with RoHS standards | --- ### 2. Key Physical Features * **Contact Density:** Utilizes a 0.050" (1.27mm) center-to-center contact spacing, allowing for a high number of pins in a very small footprint. * **Right-Angle Orientation:** The "R" in the suffix indicates the connector is designed to be mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) at a 90-degree angle, often used for edge-mounting to save vertical space. * **Robust Shell:** Usually features a metal shell (often electroless nickel-plated aluminum) to provide Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding and structural integrity. ### 3. Electrical & Environmental Performance These parts are typically engineered to meet or exceed **MIL-DTL-83513** standards: * **Current Rating:** Approximately 3 Amps per contact. * **Operating Temperature:** Generally rated from **-55°C to +125°C**. * **Vibration/Shock Resistance:** Designed to withstand high-G environments common in aerospace and defense. * **Durability:** Rated for 500+ mating cycles due to high-quality gold plating on the socket contacts. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its small size and extreme durability, the 48SV2-RHHST-R is commonly found in: 1. **Avionics:** Flight control systems and cockpit displays. 2. **Space Exploration:** Satellite payloads and rovers. 3. **Medical Equipment:** High-end imaging and diagnostic tools. 4. **Defense:** Man-portable communication devices and missile guidance systems.
