The **M2RS1-10-R** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **Surface Mount (SMT) Header or Connector**. It is part of a standardized interconnect system used to link Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) or to connect peripherals to a main board. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic characteristics and specifications. --- ## 1. Component Overview The M2RS1-10-R is a **Male Pin Header** featuring a single row of pins with a specific pitch (spacing). The "10" in the part number usually denotes the total number of positions (pins). | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Male Pin Header (Single Row) | | **Number of Pins** | 10 Positions | | **Pitch** | 2.00mm (typical for M2 series) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount Technology (SMT) | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle or Vertical (Model dependent) | | **Termination** | Solder | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Specifications These headers are designed to handle low-voltage signal transmission and moderate power delivery. ### Electrical Characteristics * **Current Rating:** Typically **1.5A to 2.0A** per contact. * **Voltage Rating:** Up to **250V AC/DC**. * **Contact Resistance:** $\leq 20 \, m\Omega$ (initial max). * **Insulation Resistance:** $\geq 1000 \, M\Omega$. * **Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:** 500V AC for one minute. ### Material Composition * **Insulator:** High-temperature thermoplastic (e.g., LCP or Nylon 6T), capable of withstanding reflow soldering temperatures ($260^\circ C$). * **Contact Material:** Copper Alloy (Brass or Phosphor Bronze). * **Plating:** Gold flash or Tin over Nickel (Gold is preferred for high-reliability signal paths). --- ## 3. Physical Layout and Footprint The SMT design allows for automated assembly using Pick-and-Place machines. * **SMT Pads:** The pins are bent to sit flush on the surface of the PCB. * **Tail Length:** Optimized for soldering onto PCB pads rather than through-holes. * **Packaging:** Often supplied in **Tape and Reel (-R)** format, which is indicated by the suffix in the part number. This is crucial for high-speed manufacturing environments. --- ## 4. Typical Applications The M2RS1-10-R is widely used in compact electronics where space is at a premium: 1. **Consumer Electronics:** Handheld devices, tablets, and cameras. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Connecting sensor modules to microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32 or ARM boards). 3. **Industrial Automation:** Signal routing between control boards and LED indicators. 4. **Automotive:** Low-current dash electronics and infotainment modules. ---
