The **M2PHSH-11-R/N** is a specific part number typically associated with high-density, multi-pin electrical connectors, often used in automotive or industrial wire-to-board applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ### 1. General Specifications This component is part of a connector system designed for secure signal and power transmission. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Male Pin Header / Connector Housing | | **Pitch** | Typically 2.0mm or 2.54mm (Series dependent) | | **Pin Count** | 11 Pins | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole or Wire-to-Board | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle (R) or Vertical (Series dependent) | | **Color/Coding** | Natural (N) / White | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature usually follows this logic: * **M2**: Series identifier (often related to Miniature or Micro series). * **PH**: Pin Header / Plug Housing. * **SH**: Shell or Shrouded (indicates the pins are protected by a plastic wall to prevent misalignment). * **11**: Number of circuits/positions (11-pin configuration). * **R**: Right-angle orientation (pins exit parallel to the PCB). * **N**: Natural color (typically an off-white or translucent nylon). --- ### 3. Electronic & Material Properties These parts are engineered to handle low-to-medium current loads. * **Current Rating:** Usually rated between **2A to 3A** per pin depending on the wire gauge used. * **Voltage Rating:** Typically **250V AC/DC**. * **Contact Resistance:** $\leq 20m\Omega$ (Initial). * **Insulation Resistance:** $\geq 1000M\Omega$. * **Material:** * **Housing:** Nylon 66 (UL94V-0 or V-2 rated for flame retardancy). * **Contacts:** Brass or Phosphor Bronze with Tin or Gold plating. --- ### 4. Application Areas Because of the **11-pin** configuration and the **shrouded** design, this part is commonly found in: 1. **Automotive Electronics:** Dashboard displays, sensor clusters, and interior lighting controls. 2. **Consumer Electronics:** Household appliances (washing machines, microwave control boards). 3. **Industrial Automation:** PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) signal interfaces. 4. **PC Peripherals:** Internal power or data headers for specialized hardware. --- ### 5. Technical Precautions * **Keying:** The housing usually includes a "key" or "polarized" slot to ensure the connector cannot be plugged in backward. * **Locking Mechanism:** These connectors often feature a friction lock or a mechanical ramp to prevent disconnection due to vibration. * **Soldering:** If this is the PCB-mount version, ensure the soldering temperature does not exceed **260°C** for more than 5 seconds to avoid warping the nylon housing. ---
