The **W30-32P-2-R** is a specific electronic component typically categorized under **PCB Connectors**, specifically high-density board-to-board or cable-to-board headers. Below is a detailed breakdown of its technical specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications This part number usually corresponds to a **32-pin, dual-row male header** with a specific pitch and mounting orientation. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | W30-32P-2-R | | **Number of Positions** | 32 Pins | | **Rows** | Dual Row (2x16 configuration) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (THT) or SMT (depending on manufacturer suffix) | | **Pitch** | Likely 2.54mm (0.1") or 2.0mm | | **Orientation** | Right Angle (indicated by the 'R') | | **Gender** | Male (Plug/Header) | --- ### 2. Physical & Material Composition The construction of the connector is designed for durability and signal integrity. * **Contacts:** Usually made of Copper Alloy (Brass or Phosphor Bronze) with Gold or Tin plating to prevent oxidation. * **Insulator:** High-temperature thermoplastic (e.g., PBT or LCP), which is UL94V-0 rated for flame retardancy. * **The "R" Suffix:** In most connector nomenclature, "R" signifies a **Right Angle** orientation, meaning the pins are bent at 90 degrees to the PCB surface. --- ### 3. Electrical Characteristics These parameters define the safe operating limits of the component. | Parameter | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Current Rating** | 1A to 3A per contact | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC/DC | | **Contact Resistance** | 20mΩ Max | | **Insulation Resistance** | 1000MΩ Min | | **Dielectric Strength** | 500V AC for 1 minute | --- ### 4. Applications The W30-32P-2-R is commonly used in environments where space is limited and a 90-degree connection is required to keep cables parallel to the board. 1. **Industrial Controllers:** Connecting daughterboards to a main motherboard. 2. **Consumer Electronics:** Internal wiring for displays or control panels. 3. **Computing:** Legacy IDE interfaces or custom peripheral headers. 4. **Embedded Systems:** Connecting sensors and actuators to microcontrollers. --- ### 5. Part Number Decoding (Typical) * **W30:** Series designation (Wafer/Header series). * **32P:** 32 Total Pins. * **2:** Two rows of pins. * **R:** Right Angle orientation.
