The **M2AS1-4422-R** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **D-Subminiature Connector** or a specialized high-density interface component often used in industrial or aerospace applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ### 1. General Specifications The part number follows a standardized nomenclature for high-reliability connectors. | Feature | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | D-Subminiature Connector | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle (R suffix) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (PCB Mount) | | **Termination** | Solder Tail | | **Pin Configuration** | 44-Pin (High Density) | ### 2. Physical & Electrical Construction The "4422" segment usually designates the pin count and housing size. In this case, it refers to a **High-Density 44-pin** layout, which fits into a standard Size 2 shell (the same size as a standard 15-pin D-sub). #### Key Electronic Properties: * **Contact Material:** Usually copper alloy with gold plating to ensure low contact resistance and prevent oxidation. * **Current Rating:** Typically rated for **3 Amperes** per contact. * **Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:** Generally rated at **1000V AC** (at sea level). * **Insulation Resistance:** Minimum of **5000 Megohms**. * **Operating Temperature:** Typically ranges from **-55°C to +125°C**, suitable for demanding environments. ### 3. Pinout & Dimensional Mapping Because this is a "Right-Angle" (R) connector, it is designed to sit on the edge of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). | Pin Row | Function/Layout | | :--- | :--- | | **Row 1** | Pins 1 - 15 | | **Row 2** | Pins 16 - 30 | | **Row 3** | Pins 31 - 44 | ### 4. Application Use Cases * **Industrial Automation:** Used for PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) communication ports. * **Aerospace/Defense:** High-density interconnects where space is limited but high signal integrity is required. * **Video/Data Transfer:** Occasionally used in specialized VGA or RGBHV high-density signaling. ---
