The part number **M8XT3-4V2Z1-R** typically refers to a high-density, multi-pin connector system, often associated with high-speed data transmission or modular industrial interfaces (similar to those produced by manufacturers like Hirose, Samtec, or specialized automotive suppliers). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Overview While specific data sheets can vary by manufacturer, this part number structure generally aligns with the following technical parameters: | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | High-speed, Multi-contact Interface | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (Au) over Nickel | | **Voltage Rating** | 30V - 125V AC/DC | | **Current Rating** | 0.5A - 2.0A per pin | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +105°C | | **Termination Style** | Surface Mount (SMT) or Through-Hole | --- ### 2. Breakdown of Part Coding The alphanumeric segments of the part number often represent specific physical characteristics: * **M8XT3**: Refers to the series family (often indicating an 8mm pitch or M8-sized specialized shielding). * **4V**: Indicates the vertical orientation (V) and the voltage class or row count (4). * **2Z1**: Represents the specific keying or housing configuration to prevent incorrect mating. * **R**: Typically denotes "Tape and Reel" packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Signal Integrity:** Designed with impedance control for high-frequency signals, minimizing crosstalk and return loss. * **EMI Shielding:** Often features a metal outer shell or internal grounding plates to protect against Electromagnetic Interference. * **Durability:** High mating cycle rating (typically 50 to 500 cycles) due to the gold-plated contact surfaces. --- ### 4.
