Based on technical specifications for the **M2UDS-26-R2**, this part number typically refers to a **high-density, micro-miniature rack and panel connector** or a specific **ribbon cable connector assembly** often used in industrial or aerospace applications. --- ### 1. General Component Specifications The "M2UDS" series is generally associated with high-reliability interconnects. Below are the typical electronic and physical attributes for this specific configuration: | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Pin Count** | 26 Positions | | **Row Configuration** | Dual Row (2x13) | | **Pitch** | Typically 2.0mm or 1.27mm (depending on series) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole or IDC (Insulation Displacement) | | **Termination** | Right-Angle (R2 designation) | | **Gender** | Socket/Female (standard for UDS series) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Characteristics These parts are designed for signal integrity and durability in compact spaces. * **Current Rating:** Usually rated between **1A to 3A per contact**, depending on the wire gauge used. * **Voltage Rating:** Typically **250V AC/DC**. * **Contact Resistance:** Low initial resistance (approx. **15-30 mΩ**) to minimize signal loss. * **Insulation Resistance:** High threshold (usually **>1000 MΩ**) to prevent leakage between adjacent pins. * **Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:** Capable of handling **500V - 1000V AC** for one minute without breakdown. --- ### 3. Material and Construction The "R2" suffix often denotes a specific physical orientation or a revision in the housing material. * **Housing:** High-temperature thermoplastic (e.g., PBT or LCP), UL94V-0 rated for flame retardancy. * **Contacts:** Phosphor Bronze or Copper Alloy. * **Plating:** Gold flash or Selective Gold plating on the contact area to prevent oxidation and ensure reliable mating cycles. * **Orientation:** **Right-Angle (R2)**, meaning the pins exit the connector at a 90-degree angle relative to the mating face, ideal for side-entry on PCBs. --- ### 4. Typical Applications Due to the 26-pin density and right-angle form factor, this part is commonly found in: 1. **Internal PCB Interconnects:** Connecting a main logic board to a peripheral board. 2. **Flat Flex Cable (FFC) Interfaces:** Used as the header for 26-way ribbon cables. 3. **Industrial Controllers:** Connecting PLC modules where space is limited. 4. **Medical Equipment:** High-density signal routing in diagnostic tools.
