The **2VS-K6-R** is a specific electronic component, typically identified as a **Miniature Toggle Switch** or a specialized **PCB-mount switch**, often associated with manufacturers like *Salecom* or similar industrial electronics providers. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications, construction, and typical applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications This component is designed for low-power signaling and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) integration. | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Function** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Actuator Position** | On-On (2 Positions) | | **Contact Rating** | 2A @ 250VAC / 5A @ 120VAC or 28VDC | | **Mounting Type** | Through-Hole PCB / Vertical Support | | **Terminal Type** | PC Pin (Gold or Silver plated) | | **Operating Temp** | -30°C to +85°C | --- ### 2. Key Features and Materials The "K6" and "R" suffixes in the part number usually denote specific mechanical configurations: * **Vertical Support (VS):** The "VS" prefix indicates that the switch includes a metal bracket for vertical mounting on a PCB. This provides mechanical stability so the solder joints don't snap when the switch is toggled. * **Sealed Construction:** These parts often feature an epoxy seal at the base of the terminals to prevent contamination during soldering or cleaning processes. * **Materials:** * **Case:** Diallyl phthalate (DAP) (UL94V-0). * **Actuator:** Chrome-plated brass or nylon. * **Contacts:** Silver or Gold-plated copper alloy. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration (SPDT) The 2VS-K6-R generally utilizes a three-pin configuration for the switching logic: 1. **Pin 1:** Fixed Contact. 2. **Pin 2:** Common (Center). 3. **Pin 3:** Fixed Contact. When the toggle is flipped, Pin 2 connects to either Pin 1 or Pin 3. --- ### 4. Typical Applications Due to its small footprint and vertical support bracket, this part is commonly used in: * **Telecommunications:** Network routing equipment and modems. * **Instrumentation:** Multimeters, oscilloscopes, and handheld testers. * **Medical Equipment:** Control panels for diagnostic devices. * **Audio Gear:** Effect pedals, amplifiers, and mixing consoles. ---
