The **M2REB-SA14-R2/UL** is a specific electronic component belonging to the **I/O connector** family, commonly utilized in industrial automation, PLC systems, and interface modules. It is typically manufactured by brands like **CST (CST-Arclight)** or similar industrial component suppliers. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electrical and physical characteristics of the M2REB-SA14-R2/UL: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Ribbon Cable Connector / Header | | **Number of Positions** | 14 Pins | | **Pitch** | 2.54mm (0.1 inch) | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle (RA) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (THT) | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy (usually Gold or Tin plated) | | **Current Rating** | 1A - 3A (Typical) | | **Certifications** | UL Recognized (E-file standards) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Model Number The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the part's build: * **M2REB**: The series designation, often referring to a specific shroud or locking mechanism design for ribbon cable interfaces. * **SA**: Sub-assembly or Specific Arrangement (often indicates standard spacing). * **14**: Indicates the **14-pin count**, arranged in a 2x7 configuration. * **R2**: Refers to the **Right-Angle** lead formation, meaning the pins bend 90 degrees to sit flush on a PCB while the connector faces outward. * **UL**: Signifies compliance with **Underwriters Laboratories** safety standards for flammability and electrical insulation. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Polarization:** These connectors usually feature a "key" or notch in the center to prevent the ribbon cable from being inserted backwards. * **Ejector Latches:** The "REB" series often includes long or short latches that lock the mating female socket in place, ensuring high-vibration resistance. * **Insulation Resistance:** Designed to withstand high voltage (typically 500V AC or higher) between pins without leakage. --- ### 4. Common Applications 1. **Internal Board-to-Board Wiring:** Connecting a main control board to a display or sensor array. 2. **PLC Modules:** Used in Programmable Logic Controllers for digital I/O expansion. 3. **Industrial Robotics:** Providing secure, lockable data paths for signal transmission.
