Based on the part number **M2MNV-23-R2/N**, this refers to a high-performance **M.2 (NGFF) connector** commonly manufactured by companies like **LOTES** or used in specific industrial computing modules. These components are critical for interfacing storage (SSDs) or wireless modules with a motherboard. ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The "M2" designation indicates adherence to the M.2 standard (formerly Next Generation Form Factor). | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | M.2 (NGFF) Card Edge Connector | | **Pitch** | 0.50 mm (Standard for M.2) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMT) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle / Horizontal | | **Height** | 2.3mm (Commonly indicated by the '23' in the part number) | | **Keying** | Typically M-Key or B-Key (Check specific datasheet for 'N' suffix) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number While manufacturers have slight variations, the nomenclature generally breaks down as follows: * **M2**: Refers to the M.2 Form Factor. * **MNV**: Often signifies the series (e.g., Vertical or specific Mechanical Variation). * **23**: Represents the **Stack Height** (2.3mm). This is the distance between the PCB surface and the center of the inserted module. * **R2**: Usually denotes the Revision 2 design or specific reel packaging specifications. * **N**: Often indicates a **Lead-Free (RoHS compliant)** status or a specific Halogen-free material requirement. --- ### 3. Electronic Composition & Materials The reliability of this part depends on its metallurgical and plastic composition: 1. **Contacts:** Copper Alloy, typically plated with **Gold (Au)** over Nickel. Gold is used to prevent oxidation and ensure low contact resistance over multiple insertion cycles. 2. **Housing:** High-temperature Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) or Thermoplastic. These materials are chosen to withstand **Reflow Soldering** temperatures (up to 260°C). 3. **Solder Pegs/Tabs:** These provide mechanical stability to ensure the connector does not rip off the PCB during the insertion of an SSD. --- ### 4. Typical Applications This specific electronic part is found in: * **Laptops/Ultrabooks:** For NVMe SSD storage. * **Industrial PCs:** For compact Wi-Fi or LTE modules. * **Single Board Computers (SBCs):** Used to expand storage via PCIe lanes. ---
