The part number **M2TS-11-R2SLASHK** refers to a high-performance, precision **Micro-Switch** (often specifically a Toggle or Tactile variant depending on the manufacturer, commonly associated with Nidec Components/Copal Electronics). Below is a breakdown of its electronic specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications | Feature | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Sub-miniature Toggle Switch | | **Contact Form** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Switch Function** | ON - ON | | **Terminal Type** | Right Angle PC Terminal (R2) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold (K-type) for low-level switching | --- ### 2. Electrical Characteristics These parts are designed for low-current signal switching, common in logic circuits. * **Contact Rating:** Typically 0.4VA Max at 28V AC/DC. * **Insulation Resistance:** 1,000 MΩ minimum (at 500V DC). * **Dielectric Strength:** 500V AC for 1 minute. * **Contact Resistance:** Max 50mΩ initially. * **Mechanical Life:** 100,000 cycles (for the M2 series). --- ### 3. Key Features * **Gold Contacts:** The "K" suffix usually denotes gold-plated contacts. This prevents oxidation and ensures high reliability when switching very low voltages (dry circuits). * **Washable Construction:** The "S" in the series often implies a sealed construction, allowing the PCB to be cleaned with solvents after soldering without damaging the internal contacts. * **Right-Angle Mounting:** The "R2" designation indicates that the terminals are bent at a 90-degree angle, allowing the toggle to protrude from the side of a device while the switch is soldered flat onto the PCB. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown While manufacturer codes vary slightly, the standard breakdown for this series is as follows: | Code | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **M2** | Series Name (Sub-miniature) | | **T** | Toggle Type | | **S** | Sealed/Washable Structure | | **11** | Number of Poles (1 Pole) / Function (ON-ON) | | **R2** | Terminal Shape (Right Angle) | | **K** | Contact Material (Gold) | --- ### 5. Common Applications * **Telecommunications:** Network routing hardware. * **Industrial Controls:** Handheld testing equipment. * **Medical Devices:** Portable diagnostic tools. * **Computing:** Logic state selection on motherboards.
