The **M2AS1-6411-R/CE** is a specialized high-performance industrial connector, typically classified as a **Modular Power Connector** or a **High-Current Interface**. These parts are commonly used in telecommunications, data centers, and power distribution units (PDUs). ### 1. General Specifications Based on the standard nomenclature for this series, here are the core electronic characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | Modular AC/DC Power Connector | | **Configuration** | Plug/Socket (Application dependent) | | **Rated Current** | Typically up to 35A - 50A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC / 400V DC | | **Termination Style** | Right Angle (indicated by R) / PCB Mount | | **Compliance** | CE Certified, RoHS Compliant | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Materials The part is engineered to handle high power density while maintaining signal integrity. * **Contact Material:** High-conductivity Copper Alloy. This reduces electrical resistance and heat buildup during high-current loads. * **Plating:** Gold (Au) over Nickel (Ni) on the mating surface to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term connectivity. * **Insulator Body:** High-temperature thermoplastic (UL 94V-0 rated). This ensures the part does not ignite under electrical fault conditions. * **Mounting (R/CE):** The "R" usually denotes a **Right Angle** orientation, which is essential for compact PCB layouts where vertical space is limited. --- ### 3. Functional Pinout Roles In a typical 6411 series configuration, the pins are divided into specific zones: 1. **Power Pins:** Larger blades or pins designed to carry the primary current (Line, Neutral, Ground). 2. **Signal/Sense Pins:** Smaller pins used for "hot-swapping" detection or communication between the power supply and the motherboard. 3. **Sequential Mating:** The Ground pin is often longer than the Power pins to ensure "First-Mate, Last-Break" safety, protecting the electronics from static discharge. --- ### 4. Typical Applications These connectors are found in high-availability environments: * **Server Power Supplies:** Connecting a hot-swappable PSU to the backplane. * **Networking Gear:** High-end switches and routers. * **Industrial Automation:** Powering modular PLC systems or motor controllers. ---
