Based on the part number provided, this component belongs to the **48SV Series** of high-density connectors, typically manufactured by companies like **Foxconn** (Hon Hai Precision Industry). These are specialized interface connectors used in networking, server architecture, and high-speed data transmission. ### Technical Specification Overview The **48SV2-RH0ST-R** is generally categorized as a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) or similar high-speed interface cage/connector assembly. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | 48SV Series | | **Type** | SFP/SFP+ Cage or Connector Assembly | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (typically Press-fit or Solder) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle / Horizontal | | **Material** | Copper Alloy with Nickel/Gold plating | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (indicated by the "-R" suffix) | --- ### Part Number Breakdown (Generalized) While exact nomenclature varies by manufacturer, the code generally follows this logic: 1. **48SV**: Represents the specific series design (High-speed I/O). 2. **2**: Often indicates the number of ports or a specific revision of the physical housing. 3. **RH**: Usually refers to **Right-Hand** or **Right-Angle** orientation for PCB mounting. 4. **0ST**: Denotes specific structural features, such as the type of "Spring Finger" for EMI shielding or the "Outer Stud" configuration. 5. **-R**: Strictly stands for **RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)** compliance. --- ### Key Applications and Features * **EMI Shielding:** These parts are designed with metal cages to prevent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in high-frequency environments. * **High-Speed Data:** Optimized for 1Gbps to 10Gbps+ data rates, commonly used in Ethernet switches, routers, and Network Interface Cards (NICs). * **Heat Dissipation:** The "Cage" structure often allows for airflow or the attachment of heat sinks to cool the optical transceiver modules inserted into them. --- ### Mechanical Considerations * **Footprint:** This part requires a specific PCB layout. If you are designing a board, you must use the manufacturer-provided footprint to ensure the pins align with the high-speed signal traces. * **Durability:** Designed for multiple insertion cycles (usually 100+ cycles) of SFP modules.
