The **M2PHS2W-A14-R2** is a specialized electronic connector component, typically categorized as a **High-Density Board-to-Board (BTB) or Mezzanine Connector**. These parts are designed to facilitate high-speed data transfer between a motherboard and a daughterboard within compact electronic devices. --- ## Technical Specifications & Characteristics | Parameter | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Mezzanine / Board-to-Board Header | | **Pitch** | Typically 0.5mm or 0.8mm (Common for M2P series) | | **Pin Count** | 14 Pins (Indicated by the "14" in the part number) | | **Orientation** | Straight / Vertical (SMT Mount) | | **Material** | High-temperature Thermoplastic (LCP) | | **Plating** | Gold Flash or Selective Gold for corrosion resistance | --- ## Breakdown of the Part Number Electronic components follow a specific nomenclature. While manufacturers vary, the string **M2PHS2W-A14-R2** generally breaks down as follows: 1. **M2P Series**: The product family, often associated with high-density micro-pitch connectors. 2. **HS (High Speed)**: Indicates the connector is optimized for signal integrity at high frequencies. 3. **2W**: Likely refers to the dual-row configuration or a specific stacking height. 4. **A14**: Represents the **14-pin count** (Positions). 5. **R2**: Usually denotes the revision number or the packaging style (e.g., Tape & Reel). --- ## Key Electronic Features ### 1. Signal Integrity The internal contacts are designed to minimize impedance mismatch, making it suitable for high-speed communication protocols like PCIe, USB 3.0, or SATA. ### 2. SMT (Surface Mount Technology) The "R2" designation often implies the part is provided on a reel for automated pick-and-place assembly machines. The leads are designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of the PCB. ### 3. Durability These connectors are rated for a specific number of mating cycles (usually 30–100). The gold plating ensures that even with small contact points, electrical resistance remains low over time. --- ## Common Applications * **Mobile Devices:** Connecting camera modules or displays to the main PCB. * **Laptops/Tablets:** Internal connections for Wi-Fi cards or SSD interfaces. * **Industrial Automation:** Modular PLC systems where sensor boards plug into a backplane. * **IoT Devices:** Used in compact sensor hubs where space is at a premium. ---
