# Technical Overview: M2PHSH-15B-R The **M2PHSH-15B-R** is a specific electronic connector component, typically part of a high-density board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnect system. Based on standard industry nomenclature for this series, it is a **shrouded pin header**. --- ## 1. Component Specification Table | Attribute | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Male Pin Header (Shrouded) | | **Number of Positions** | 15 Pins | | **Pitch (Spacing)** | 2.0mm or 2.54mm (Commonly 2.0mm for M2 series) | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle (R suffix) | | **Row Configuration** | Single Row | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole (THT) | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy (usually Gold or Tin plated) | --- ## 2. Key Features ### A. Shrouded Design The "SH" in the part number indicates a **shrouded** housing. This means the pins are encased in a plastic box. * **Protection:** Prevents accidental bending of the pins. * **Polarization:** The shroud often includes a notch or "key" that ensures the mating female connector can only be inserted in the correct orientation. ### B. Right-Angle Orientation The "R" suffix indicates that the pins are bent at a 90-degree angle. This is used in designs where the cable or mating board needs to lie parallel to the PCB, saving vertical space (low profile). ### C. Pitch and Density As part of the "M2" family, it typically features a **2.0mm pitch**. This is smaller than the standard 2.54mm (0.1") headers, making it ideal for compact electronic devices like: * Handheld instruments. * Internal drone electronics. * Small-scale industrial controllers. --- ## 3. Electrical Characteristics (Typical) While specific ratings depend on the manufacturer (e.g., JST, Hirose, or generic equivalents), standard specs for this class are: ```yaml Electrical_Ratings: Current_Rating: 1A to 2A AC/DC Voltage_Rating: 250V AC/DC Contact_Resistance: 20mΩ Max Insulation_Resistance: 1000MΩ Min Withstanding_Voltage: 800V AC/minute Temperature_Range: -25°C to +85°C ``` --- ## 4. Typical Applications 1. **Peripheral Connection:** Connecting sensors or small LCDs to a main logic board. 2. **Internal Power Rail:** Distributing low-current power between PCBs. 3. **Data Bus:** Connecting ribbon cables for internal communication signals.
