The **M2AS1-6114-R** is a specific electronic component typically categorized as a **Modular Jack (RJ45) Connector**. This part is commonly used in networking hardware for Ethernet connectivity. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications The part is a surface-mount or through-hole (depending on specific revision) connector designed for high-speed data transmission. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 (8P8C) | | **Orientation** | Side Entry (Right Angle) | | **Shielding** | Shielded (Metal Shell) | | **Performance** | Cat5e / Cat6 Compatible | | **Mounting Type** | PCB Mount | | **Number of Ports** | 1 Port (Single) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Characteristics * **Integrated Magnetics (MagJack):** While standard RJ45s are just plastic and metal, "6114" series parts often feature integrated transformers (magnetics). These provide: * **Isolation:** Protects the PHY chip from voltage spikes on the network cable. * **EMI Filtering:** Reduces electromagnetic interference to meet FCC/CE regulations. * **Signal Conditioning:** Ensures clean signal integrity for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet. * **LED Indicators:** The part usually includes integrated LEDs (typically Green/Yellow) at the front to indicate "Link" and "Activity" status without needing separate PCB-mounted LEDs. * **Shielding & Grounding:** The metal outer casing provides a path to ground, protecting the data signal from external noise and reducing the device's own emissions. --- ### 3. Physical & Material Properties | Component | Material / Property | | :--- | :--- | | **Housing** | High-Temperature Thermoplastic (UL 94V-0) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold over Nickel (usually 30µ" or 50µ" gold) | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C (Industrial Grade) | | **Durability** | ~750 Mating Cycles | --- ### 4. Typical Application Circuit In an electronic design, the pins are connected as follows: ```mermaid graph LR A[Ethernet PHY Chip] --> B[M2AS1-6114-R Integrated Magnetics] B --> C[RJ45 Port] C --> D[Ethernet Cable] ``` * **Input Side:** Differential pairs (TX+/-, RX+/-) from the PHY chip. * **Output Side:** Transformer-coupled signals to the Ethernet cable. * **LED Pins:** Driven by the PHY or a microcontroller to show status.
