The **W2PE-15WE-R2/N** is a specialized high-density power entry module or connector assembly, typically associated with industrial computing, server chassis (like those from Advantech), or telecommunications equipment. Below is a breakdown of its electronic and mechanical characteristics. --- ### 1. Component Overview This part is generally categorized as a **DC Power Entry Module** or a **Power Connector Interface**. It serves as the bridge between the external power supply and the internal circuitry of a device. | Attribute | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | DC Power Input Connector / Terminal Block | | **Number of Pins/Positions** | 15 Pins (High Density) | | **Termination Style** | Wire-to-Board or Wire-to-Panel | | **Typical Voltage** | 12V DC / 24V DC / 48V DC (Industrial Standards) | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount with Screw Flange | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features * **High Current Density:** Designed to handle significant amperage across multiple pins to power industrial motherboards or backplanes. * **Contact Plating:** Usually features gold or tin plating on the contacts to minimize resistance and prevent oxidation in harsh environments. * **Insulation Resistance:** High-grade thermoplastic housing ensures high insulation resistance (typically >1000MΩ) to prevent short circuits between high-power pins. * **EMI Shielding:** Often includes a metal shell (R2/N revision specifics) to provide grounding and reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). --- ### 3. Mechanical & Environmental Specifications The "R2/N" suffix often denotes a specific revision or a "RoHS" compliant version with specific physical dimensions. * **Retention Mechanism:** Uses screw-locks or side-flanges to ensure the power cable does not disconnect due to vibration. * **Operating Temperature:** Generally rated for industrial ranges (-20°C to +85°C). * **Housing Material:** Polyamide (Nylon) or PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) reinforced with glass fiber for thermal stability. --- ### 4. Common Applications This part is frequently found in the following hardware: 1. **Industrial PC (IPC) Chassis:** Providing DC power to 1U or 2U rackmount servers. 2. **Network Switches:** High-power POE (Power over Ethernet) injectors. 3. **Medical Equipment:** Reliable power delivery for diagnostic machines. ---
