The **M2AMS2-164-R** is a high-performance, precision coaxial connector system, typically used in high-frequency RF (Radio Frequency) and microwave applications. It belongs to the M2A series of modular multi-position connectors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electronic and physical characteristics of the M2AMS2-164-R: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | SMPM (Sub-Miniature Push-On Micro) | | **Gender** | Male (Plug) | | **Frequency Range** | DC to 65 GHz | | **Impedance** | 50 Ohms | | **Interface Style** | Smooth Bore (SB) or Full Detent (FD) options | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount / Edge Launch | | **Contact Plating** | Gold over Nickel | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Materials The part is engineered to maintain signal integrity at extremely high frequencies. * **Center Contact:** Usually made of Beryllium Copper (BeCu) with gold plating. This ensures high conductivity and excellent fatigue resistance for repeated mating cycles. * **Insulator (Dielectric):** Typically made of **PTFE (Teflon)** or high-performance engineered plastics to maintain a low dielectric constant and minimize signal loss (Insertion Loss). * **Outer Body:** Constructed from Stainless Steel or Brass with Gold plating to provide electromagnetic shielding and corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Functional Applications The M2AMS2-164-R is designed for environments where space is limited but high bandwidth is required: 1. **High-Speed Computing:** Used in backplane interconnects for servers and supercomputers. 2. **Test & Measurement:** Integrated into high-frequency oscilloscopes and network analyzers. 3. **Aerospace & Defense:** Utilized in radar systems and satellite communication due to its vibration resistance and compact size. 4. **Phased Array Antennas:** Ideal for multi-port modular setups where density is critical. --- ### 4. Implementation Example When integrating this component into a PCB layout, high-frequency design rules must be followed. ```cpp // Conceptual pseudo-code for Signal Integrity Analysis (S-Parameters) void check_signal_integrity(double frequency_ghz) { if (frequency_ghz > 65.0) { print("Warning: Frequency exceeds M2AMS2-164-R rating."); } else { print("Connector operating within VSWR limits."); } } ``` ---
