The **M2PHSH-24-R2/N** is a specific technical configuration for a **pin header connector**, typically used in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assemblies. These components act as the male half of a board-to-board or wire-to-board connection system. ### 1. Part Number Breakdown Based on standard industry nomenclature for connectors (common in brands like METZ CONNECT or similar electronic hardware manufacturers), here is the breakdown of the technical specifications: | Segment | Meaning | Technical Detail | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **M2** | Series/Pitch | Often denotes a **2.00mm pitch** (distance between pin centers). | | **PHSH** | Connector Type | **P**in **H**eader, **S**urface Mount (**SMT**), **H**orizontal/Right Angle. | | **24** | Pin Count | Total number of positions (24 pins). | | **R2** | Row Configuration | Usually denotes **2 rows** (Dual Row), meaning a 2x12 configuration. | | **N** | Plating/Feature | Typically signifies **Nickel** underplating or a specific "No peg" mechanical variant. | --- ### 2. Key Technical Specifications These headers are designed for reliability and high-density signal transmission. * **Pitch:** 2.00 mm (0.079 inches). * **Orientation:** Right Angle (Horizontal). This allows the mating cable or board to be plugged in parallel to the PCB surface, saving vertical space. * **Mounting Type:** Surface Mount Technology (SMT). The leads sit on solder pads rather than going through holes. * **Contact Material:** Usually Copper Alloy with Gold or Tin plating over Nickel. * **Current Rating:** Typically 1A to 2A per pin depending on the ambient temperature. * **Insulation Resistance:** Minimum 1000MΩ. --- ### 3. Common Applications The M2PHSH-24-R2/N is found in compact electronics where space-saving and automated assembly are priorities: 1. **Industrial Controllers:** Connecting daughterboards to main PLCs. 2. **Consumer Electronics:** Internal connections for displays or sensory modules. 3. **Telecom Equipment:** High-density routing in routers and switches. 4. **Automotive Systems:** Low-current signal routing for infotainment or dashboards. --- ### 4. Advantages of this Configuration * **Low Profile:** The right-angle orientation and 2.00mm pitch allow for very "thin" device designs. * **SMT Compatibility:** Designed for "Pick and Place" machines and reflow soldering, reducing manufacturing costs. * **High Density:** 24 pins in a dual-row 2.00mm format provide significant I/O in a small footprint.
