The **M2PHS2L-14-R** is a specific part number typically associated with high-density, high-speed board-to-board connectors. This series is often manufactured by companies like **Adam Tech** or similar specialty connector firms, designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) applications. --- ## Technical Specifications Based on the standard nomenclature for this part series, here are the electronic and mechanical characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Pin Header / Board-to-Board Connector | | **Pitch** | 2.00 mm (0.079") | | **Number of Positions** | 14 Pins | | **Row Configuration** | Dual Row (2x7) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle | | **Plating** | Selective Gold or Tin-Lead (R often denotes RoHS compliance) | --- ## Electronic Components & Materials ### 1. Conductive Elements (Pins) * **Material:** Usually Phosphor Bronze or Brass. * **Function:** Provides the electrical path between two PCBs or a cable-to-board interface. * **Resistance:** Designed for low contact resistance (typically < 20mΩ) to minimize signal loss. ### 2. Insulator (Housing) * **Material:** High-Temperature Thermoplastic (e.g., LCP - Liquid Crystal Polymer). * **Function:** Prevents short-circuiting between pins and provides mechanical stability. * **Durability:** Rated for lead-free reflow soldering temperatures (up to 260°C). ### 3. Termination Style * **Surface Mount (SMT):** The "L" in many variations indicates a specific lead shape or SMT configuration. This allows for automated pick-and-place assembly on the surface of the PCB rather than through-hole. --- ## Application Use Cases These connectors are found in compact electronic assemblies where vertical space is limited: * **Telecommunications:** Network routers and switch blades. * **Industrial Controls:** Modular PLC units. * **Computing:** Peripheral expansion cards or mezzanine board stacking. * **Consumer Electronics:** High-end audio/visual equipment. --- ## Part Number Breakdown (Typical) | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **M2** | 2.00mm Pitch Series | | **PH** | Pin Header | | **S2L** | Specific lead shape / SMT Right Angle configuration | | **14** | Total pin count (14 pins) | | **R** | RoHS Compliant (Lead-free) |
