The **M2AS1-5142-R/CE** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **Micro-USB 2.0 Connector**. It is designed for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and is widely used in portable electronics for power charging and data transfer. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and mechanical characteristics of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | Micro-USB Type B | | **Gender** | Female (Receptacle) | | **Mounting Type** | SMT (Surface Mount) / Bottom Mount | | **Number of Pins** | 5 Pins | | **Current Rating** | 1.0A - 1.8A (Pin dependent) | | **Voltage Rating** | 30V AC/DC | | **Durability** | 10,000 Mating Cycles | | **Housing Material** | High-Temperature Thermoplastic (LCP) | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Construction The "R/CE" suffix often denotes specific compliance and physical orientation: * **Shielding:** The body is encased in a stainless steel or copper alloy shell to provide EMI/RFI protection and structural integrity. * **Mounting Style:** Usually features "Mid-Mount" or "Bottom-Mount" legs. This allows the connector to sit lower on the PCB, reducing the overall thickness of the device (common in slim smartphones or tablets). * **Lead-Free Compliance:** The "R" usually indicates **RoHS Compliance**, meaning the part is free from restricted hazardous substances like lead. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (5-Pin Layout) In standard Micro-USB Type B applications like the M2AS1 series, the pins are assigned as follows: | Pin Number | Signal Name | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **1** | VCC | +5V DC Power | | **2** | D- | Data Minus | | **3** | D+ | Data Plus | | **4** | ID | OTG (On-The-Go) Identification | | **5** | GND | Ground | --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its compact form factor and high durability, this part is found in: 1. **Mobile Devices:** Older smartphones, tablets, and e-readers. 2. **Peripherals:** Wireless mice, keyboards, and Bluetooth speakers. 3. **IoT Modules:** Powering ESP32 or Arduino-based development boards. 4. **Charging Docks:** Dedicated charging stations for wearable tech. ---
