The **A-MCSSP60200-G-R** is a specific type of electronic connector, typically categorized as a **Modular Plug** or **RJ45 Connector**. This part is commonly used in networking hardware to terminate Ethernet cables. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications The part number follows a standard nomenclature for modular connectors. Here is the technical overview: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C - 8 Positions, 8 Contacts) | | **Shielding** | Shielded (S) - Protects against EMI/RFI interference | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (G) - Usually 50μ" for high conductivity and corrosion resistance | | **Mounting Type** | Cable Mount (Plug) | | **Orientation** | Straight | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (indicated by -R) | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown To understand the "Electronic Parts" involved, we must look at the physical construction of the plug: #### A. Housing (Polycarbonate) The body is made of high-impact clear polycarbonate. It is UL-rated for flame retardancy and provides the mechanical structure to hold the wires in place. #### B. Shielding (Metal Shell) The "S" in the part number denotes a **Shielded** version. This consists of a nickel-plated brass or copper alloy wrap around the plastic housing. It is used to ground the drain wire of an FTP or STP cable to prevent data loss from external noise. #### C. Contacts (Gold-Plated Phosphor Bronze) The internal pins (contacts) use a "3-prong" or "2-prong" design intended to pierce the insulation of the copper strands. * **Phosphor Bronze:** Provides the necessary spring and strength. * **Gold Plating:** Ensures a low-resistance connection that does not oxidize over time. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part is engineered for high-performance data environments: * **Cat6/Cat6A Networking:** Designed to handle frequencies up to 250MHz-500MHz. * **Industrial Ethernet:** The shielding makes it suitable for factory floors where heavy machinery creates electrical noise. * **Custom Patch Cords:** Used by technicians to create specific cable lengths for server racks. --- ### 4. Technical Drawing Reference While dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer (often ASSMANN WSW Components), the standard profile is: * **Standard:** Meets FCC Part 68 requirements. * **Durability:** Rated for at least 750 mating cycles. * **Voltage Rating:** 150V AC max. * **Current Rating:** 1.5 Amps.
