The **M2AVS-16112-R/N** is a specific type of electronic connector, typically categorized as a **D-Sub (D-Subminiature) High-Density connector**. These components are widely used in computing, telecommunications, and industrial control systems for signal transmission. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the general technical parameters associated with this part number: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | D-Sub High Density (HD) | | **Number of Positions** | 15 or 16 Pins (depending on specific shell size) | | **Gender** | Female (Receptacle) / Male (Plug) - *Varies by suffix* | | **Mounting Type** | Through Hole, Right Angle | | **Termination** | Solder | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy (often Gold plated) | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Current Rating** | 3A per contact | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Components & Features ### A. Contact Interface The pins or sockets are engineered with precise plating (usually Gold over Nickel) to ensure low contact resistance and prevent oxidation over time. This is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-density layouts. ### B. Shell & Grounding The "R/N" designation often refers to specific hardware configurations: * **Metal Shell:** Provides EMI/RFI shielding to protect the signal from external electronic noise. * **Boardlocks/Rivets:** The "R" or "N" suffixes usually indicate the presence of mounting hardware like threaded inserts or boardlocks that secure the connector to the PCB during soldering. ### C. Insulator Body The housing is typically made of high-temperature thermoplastic (like PBT or LCP). This material is chosen for its: * High dielectric strength (insulates pins from each other). * Ability to withstand wave soldering temperatures. --- ## 3. Part Number Breakdown (Typical) While naming conventions vary by manufacturer (such as Morethanall or similar vendors), the code generally breaks down as follows: * **M2AVS:** Series prefix (often denoting Right Angle, High Density). * **16:** Potential indicator of shell size or basic pin count. * **112:** Specific internal design revision or spacing (Pitch). * **R/N:** Hardware options (e.g., **R** = Riveted with nut, **N** = No mounting hardware or specific plating variant). --- ## 4. Common Applications * **VGA Interfaces:** High-density 15-pin versions are the standard for analog video. * **Industrial Automation:** Used for PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) communication ports. * **Networking Gear:** Serial console ports and data transmission interfaces. ---
