The **M2AVS-16312-R2/N** is a specialized high-speed connector, typically belonging to the **HSD (High-Speed Data)** connector family. These components are extensively used in the automotive industry for LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) and camera systems. --- ### 1. Component Overview The M2AVS series is designed to handle high-frequency signals while maintaining signal integrity in harsh environments. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | HSD (High-Speed Data) Right-Angle | | **Configuration** | 4-Pin (Quad) Shielded | | **Orientation** | Right Angle (90°) for PCB Mounting | | **Mounting Style** | Through-hole (THT) or SMT (Depending on specific R2 revision) | | **Impedance** | 100 $\Omega$ (Differential) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Characteristics #### A. Signal Integrity The internal structure is designed to minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The 100-ohm differential impedance is critical for supporting protocols like: * **LVDS** (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) * **USB 2.0 / 3.0** * **Ethernet** (100Base-T1 / 1000Base-T1) * **GVIF** (Gigabit Video Interface) #### B. Mechanical Robustness As an automotive-grade part, it features: * **Primary Locking:** Mechanical latching to prevent accidental disconnection due to vehicle vibration. * **Coding/Keying:** The "/N" or similar suffixes often refer to the **mechanical coding** (color and ribbing). Coding "N" usually corresponds to a specific color (like Pastel Orange) to ensure it is only plugged into the matching header. #### C. Electrical Ratings * **Frequency Range:** Typically up to 2.0 GHz or 6.0 GHz depending on the specific HSD standard generation. * **Contact Resistance:** < 10 m$\Omega$. * **Insulation Resistance:** > 1000 M$\Omega$. --- ### 3. Pinout & Structure The "16312" refers to the specific housing geometry. It contains four signal pins arranged in a quad formation surrounded by a robust metal shield. 1. **Signal Pins (1-4):** Used for two differential pairs or one pair + power/ground. 2. **Shielding:** The outer metal shell acts as the ground reference and EMI barrier. 3. **Solder Tabs:** Provide mechanical stability on the PCB. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Infotainment Systems:** Connecting head units to displays. * **ADAS Cameras:** High-speed video transmission from exterior cameras to the ECU. * **Digital Instrument Clusters:** High-resolution data feeds.
