The **M2AVS-1116-R/N** is a specialized electronic component primarily used in high-frequency signal switching and routing applications. It is typically classified as a **Miniature Electromechanical Relay** or a **Coaxial Switch**, often utilized in telecommunications and test equipment. ### 1. General Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by manufacturers (often associated with brands like Teledyne or specialized RF component suppliers). | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Electromechanical Relay / Coaxial Switch | | **Configuration** | DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) or SPDT (based on series) | | **Frequency Range** | DC to 1 GHz+ (Depending on specific RF shielding) | | **Coil Voltage** | Typically 12V or 24V DC (Model dependent) | | **Contact Material** | Gold-plated silver alloy (for low signal loss) | | **Termination** | Through-hole pins (PCB Mount) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Characteristics #### A. Signal Integrity The "AVS" series is designed for **Attenuator/Video Switching**. This means the internal construction is optimized for: * **Low Insertion Loss:** Minimizing the power lost as the signal passes through the switch. * **High Isolation:** Preventing signal "bleed" between the open and closed circuits, which is critical for video and radio frequency (RF) applications. * **Low Crosstalk:** Ensuring signals on different poles do not interfere with each other. #### B. The "R/N" Suffix Meaning In electronic component coding, these suffixes usually denote: * **R:** Often stands for **RoHS Compliant** (Lead-free) or **Internal Resistor** (for coil protection). * **N:** Can denote a specific mounting style or **Narrow** profile. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases Due to its precision and reliability, the M2AVS-1116-R/N is found in: 1. **Broadcast Equipment:** Switching between different video or audio feeds. 2. **Automated Test Equipment (ATE):** Routing test signals to different points on a circuit board. 3. **Telecommunications:** Signal routing in base stations or switching hubs. 4. **Medical Imaging:** Directing high-frequency signals in ultrasound or MRI control interfaces. --- ### 4. Technical Pinout (Typical) *Most M2AVS series follow a standard DIP-style layout:* | Pin Number | Function | | :--- | :--- | | 1 & 16 | Coil Terminals (Polarity sensitive if diode-protected) | | 4, 6, 8 | Pole 1 (Common, NC, NO) | | 9, 11, 13 | Pole 2 (Common, NC, NO) |
