The **M2VF2-34W-R** is a specific part number typically associated with **M2 Series Vertical/Surface Mount Board-to-Board Connectors**, often manufactured by companies like Harwin or similar high-reliability connector specialists. Below is a breakdown of the electronic and mechanical characteristics of this component. --- ### 1. General Specifications This part is a high-density, miniature interconnect solution designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) applications. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Type** | Female Vertical Surface Mount Connector | | **Number of Contacts** | 34 Pins (Rows x Pins per row) | | **Pitch** | 2.00mm (Standard for M2 series) | | **Mounting Orientation** | Vertical (Straight) | | **Termination Method** | SMT (Surface Mount Technology) | | **Material** | Phosphor Bronze (Contacts), LCP (Insulator) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Characteristics The performance of the M2VF2-34W-R is defined by its ability to maintain signal integrity in compact environments. * **Current Rating:** Typically rated for **2A per contact**, making it suitable for both signal and low-power distribution. * **Voltage Rating:** Generally up to **500V AC/DC**. * **Contact Resistance:** Low initial resistance (approx. **20mΩ max**) to ensure minimal voltage drop. * **Insulation Resistance:** High dielectric performance, usually exceeding **1000MΩ**. * **Operating Temperature:** Robust range from **-40°C to +105°C**, allowing for use in industrial environments. --- ### 3. Mechanical & Design Features The suffix codes (like `-R`) often denote specific packaging or design variations. * **Tape and Reel (-R):** The "R" usually indicates that the parts are supplied in **Tape and Reel** packaging, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly machines. * **Dual Row Layout:** The 34-pin configuration is typically organized in two parallel rows of 17 pins each. * **Shrouded Design:** Often includes a plastic housing (shroud) to prevent accidental damage to the pins and to ensure correct polarization when mating with the male header. * **Polarization:** Features a "keying" mechanism to ensure the connector cannot be plugged in backwards. --- ### 4. Common Applications Due to its 2.00mm pitch and surface mount design, this part is found in: 1. **Industrial Controls:** Connecting logic boards to sensor interface boards. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Linkages between SOMs (System on Modules) and carrier boards. 3. **Telecommunications:** High-density backplane connections. 4. **Medical Devices:** Compact PCB stacking where space is a premium. ---
