The **M2AS1-6314-R** is a specific electronic component typically categorized as a **Modular Jack (RJ45)** connector. These parts are fundamental in networking hardware, providing the physical interface for Ethernet cables. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications. --- ### 1. General Specifications The part belongs to the category of **Integrated Connector Modules (ICM)** or standard RJ45 modular jacks. It is designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C - 8 Positions, 8 Contacts) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (THT), Right Angle | | **Shielding** | Shielded (Metal housing for EMI/RFI protection) | | **Orientation** | Side Entry (Right Angle to the PCB) | | **LED Configuration** | Typically features Green/Yellow LEDs (Integrated) | --- ### 2. Electronic Characteristics The internal electronics of these connectors often include "Magnetics" (transformers and chokes) to handle signal isolation and noise reduction. * **Signal Integrity:** Designed to support Ethernet speeds (typically 10/100 Base-T or 1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet, depending on the internal wiring). * **Isolation Voltage:** Usually rated for 1500V AC to protect the internal circuitry from external electrical surges. * **Contact Resistance:** Typically < 30mΩ to ensure low signal loss. * **Insulation Resistance:** Usually > 500MΩ at 500V DC. --- ### 3. Key Physical Components A breakdown of the materials used in the construction of the M2AS1-6314-R: 1. **Housing:** High-temperature thermoplastic (UL 94V-0 rated) to withstand wave soldering. 2. **Contacts:** Phosphor Bronze base with Gold plating over Nickel. Gold plating is essential for preventing corrosion and ensuring a reliable connection over thousands of mating cycles. 3. **Shield:** Copper alloy or Stainless steel with Nickel plating to provide a path to ground for electromagnetic interference. 4. **LEDs:** Low-power diodes integrated into the front face to indicate "Link" and "Activity" status. --- ### 4. Application Examples This part is commonly found in the following devices: * Network Switches and Routers. * Industrial PC Motherboards. * Embedded systems (IoT Gateways). * Set-top boxes and Gaming consoles. ---
