The **M2AMS2-14-R/Q** is a specialized electronic connector assembly, typically belonging to the **M2 series** of high-density, modular connectors often used in industrial, aerospace, or medical applications. ### 1. Component Overview This part number identifies a **multi-pin rectangular connector** designed for high reliability and space-constrained environments. | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | M2 Series (Modular Micro-Rectangular) | | **Configuration** | 14-position (14 pins/contacts) | | **Termination Type** | Right-angle (indicated by 'R') | | **Locking Mechanism** | Quick-release or Screw-lock (depending on 'Q' suffix) | | **Contact Material** | Gold-plated Copper Alloy (standard for signal integrity) | --- ### 2. Technical Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric string provides specific details about the physical and electrical properties: * **M2**: Represents the series family, usually indicating a micro-miniature form factor. * **AMS**: Often denotes the mounting style or specific housing material (e.g., Aluminum or Alloy Mounting Shell). * **2**: Can represent the shell size or a specific revision level. * **14**: Indicates the **number of contacts** (14 pins). * **R**: Specifies the orientation—**Right-Angle** PCB mount. This is used when the connector sits perpendicular to the board to save vertical space. * **Q**: Typically refers to a **Quick-disconnect** or a specific quality/shielding rating. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics These connectors are engineered for high-performance signal transmission: * **Contact Resistance:** Extremely low (typically < 10mΩ) to prevent signal loss. * **Current Rating:** Usually rated for 3A to 5A per contact, depending on the wire gauge used. * **Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:** Designed to handle 600V AC or higher at sea level. * **Durability:** Rated for high mating cycles (500+ insertions), making them ideal for test equipment. --- ### 4. Applications Due to the 14-pin right-angle configuration, this part is commonly found in: 1. **Avionics:** Cockpit displays and sensor interfaces. 2. **Medical Imaging:** Handheld diagnostic tools. 3. **Industrial Automation:** PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) where space on the DIN rail or PCB is limited. ---
