The **A-MCSSP60050-R-R** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **ASSMANN WSW Components**. It belongs to the category of **Modular Connectors**—specifically, it is a high-quality RJ45 (8P8C) modular plug used for networking and data transmission. --- ## 1. Component Specifications Below is a breakdown of the technical characteristics of the A-MCSSP60050-R-R: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | RJ45 Modular Plug (8P8C) | | **Shielding** | Shielded (Metal Shell) | | **Mounting Type** | Cable Mount (IDC - Insulation Displacement Contact) | | **Category** | Cat5e / Cat6 compatible | | **Wire Gauge** | Typically 24-26 AWG (Stranded/Solid) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (typically 50µin) over Nickel | | **Housing Material** | Polycarbonate (Clear) | | **Packaging** | Bulk / Bag | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Features ### A. Shielding (The "S" in Part Number) The "S" in the part number indicates that this is a **Shielded** connector. * **EMI Protection:** The outer metal casing protects the signals from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). * **Grounding:** It includes a metal tab to connect the drain wire of a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable to the grounded port of a switch or router. ### B. Gold-Plated Contacts The contacts are plated with gold (usually 50 micro-inches). This is critical for: * **Corrosion Resistance:** Prevents oxidation in humid environments. * **Conductivity:** Ensures low contact resistance for high-speed data packets. ### C. IDC Termination The internal pins are designed as **Insulation Displacement Contacts**. When crimped, these "teeth" pierce the plastic insulation of the copper wires to create a gas-tight electrical connection without the need for stripping the individual wires. --- ## 3. Physical Dimensions & Application * **Standard Interface:** It follows the standard RJ45 footprint, making it compatible with all standard Ethernet ports (8P8C). * **Applications:** * Industrial Ethernet (where electrical noise is high). * Server rooms and Data Centers. * High-speed LAN patching. --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown (General) While ASSMANN WSW uses internal codes, the sequence generally follows: 1. **A-MC**: Assmann Modular Connector. 2. **SS**: Shielded / Specialized. 3. **P**: Plug (Male). 4. **60050**: Dimensional/Series code (specific to 50 micro-inch gold plating). 5. **R-R**: RoHS Compliant / Revision code.
