The **M2AS1-6411-R/N** is a specialized high-speed connector, typically part of the **M.2 (NGFF - Next Generation Form Factor)** family, often manufactured by companies like **Lotes**. These connectors are primarily used in computing and telecommunications to interface SSDs, Wi-Fi cards, and other peripheral modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number indicates a specific mechanical and electrical configuration. Below are the typical electronic characteristics for this class of component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Interface Type** | M.2 (NGFF) | | **Pitch** | 0.50 mm | | **Number of Positions** | 67 Pins | | **Keying** | Key A or Key E (Common for Wireless/Bluetooth) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) | | **Current Rating** | 0.5A per pin | | **Voltage Rating** | 50V AC/DC | | **Durability** | 60 Cycles minimum | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Construction The connector is composed of three primary electronic/material elements: 1. **Contacts (Copper Alloy):** * The pins are made of high-conductivity copper alloy. * **Plating:** Usually features Gold (Au) plating on the contact area to prevent oxidation and ensure low signal resistance over time. 2. **Insulator (LCP - Liquid Crystal Polymer):** * The housing is made of high-temperature plastic (LCP) to withstand **Reflow Soldering** temperatures (approx. 260°C). * It provides high dielectric strength to prevent cross-talk between high-speed signal pins. 3. **Solder Tabs/Pegs:** * Metal tabs on the sides provide mechanical stability (Strain Relief) to the PCB so that plugging/unplugging doesn't rip the electronic pads off the board. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This connector is designed to handle high-frequency signals. Its electronic architecture supports: * **PCI Express (PCIe):** Up to Gen 3 or Gen 4 speeds. * **USB 3.0 / 3.1:** For integrated peripherals. * **DisplayPort:** Supported in some M.2 configurations. ### 4.
