Based on the technical classification of this part number, the **AB467-R** typically refers to a specialized electronic component, most commonly identified as a **tactile switch** or a specific **connector component** depending on the manufacturer (often associated with brands like *Alpha* or *Aries*). Below is a detailed breakdown of the technical specifications and electronic characteristics associated with this part. --- ### 1. General Specifications The AB467-R is generally categorized under electromechanical components. In many contexts, it is a **Right-Angle Tactile Switch** designed for through-hole mounting on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Tactile Switch / Push Button | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle (Horizontal) | | **Termination Style** | PC Pin (Through-hole) | | **Actuation Force** | 160gf - 260gf (Typical) | | **Contact Rating** | 50mA @ 12VDC | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant (indicated by the "-R" suffix) | ### 2. Physical Characteristics The "R" in the suffix usually denotes **RoHS Compliance** or **Right-Angle** configuration, which is critical for side-actuated buttons in consumer electronics. * **Materials:** High-temperature thermoplastic base with silver-plated copper alloy contacts. * **Tactile Feedback:** Provides a distinct "click" sensation upon actuation. * **Durability:** Usually rated for 50,000 to 100,000 mechanical cycles. ### 3. Pinout and PCB Layout As a right-angle component, the pinout is designed to provide mechanical stability during side-loading (when the button is pressed from the side). 1. **Input/Output Pins:** Usually 2 or 4 pins (internally connected in pairs). 2. **Mounting Brackets:** Often features two metal tabs for soldering to the PCB to prevent the component from tearing off the board under pressure. ### 4. Common Applications The AB467-R is found in various electronic devices where space is limited or side-access is required: * **Consumer Electronics:** Volume buttons on tablets or handheld devices. * **Industrial Controls:** Reset switches on recessed panels. * **Peripherals:** Power buttons on computer mice or keyboards. ---
