The **M2TS-11-R2/BL** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **Miniature Toggle Switch**. These components are widely used in industrial control panels, consumer electronics, and DIY projects for circuit switching. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications The "M2TS" series generally refers to sub-miniature or miniature toggle switches designed for PCB mounting or panel mounting. | Parameter | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Toggle Switch | | **Circuit Configuration** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Switch Function** | ON-ON (2 Positions) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (PCB) or Panel Mount | | **Actuator Color** | Blue (Indicated by "/BL") | | **Contact Rating** | 2A @ 250VAC / 5A @ 125VAC | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Parts & Materials The reliability of this switch is defined by its internal construction: * **Contacts:** Usually silver-plated or gold-plated brass. Silver is used for standard power applications, while gold is preferred for "dry circuits" (low voltage/low current) to prevent oxidation. * **Housing/Body:** Made of high-temperature diallyl phthalate (DAP) or similar thermosetting plastics to withstand soldering heat. * **Actuator (Lever):** The "BL" suffix typically indicates a **Blue** handle, often made of nylon or chrome-plated brass with a colored plastic sleeve. * **Terminals:** Epoxy-sealed at the base to prevent flux or contaminants from entering the switch mechanism during soldering. --- ### 3. Circuit Logic (SPDT) The **11** in the part number often denotes the SPDT configuration. The switching logic works as follows: ```text Position 1: Pin 2 (Common) connected to Pin 1 Position 2: Pin 2 (Common) connected to Pin 3 ``` --- ### 4. Technical Drawing & Dimensions While exact dimensions vary by manufacturer (such as Salecom or Shin Chin), standard M2 miniature switches follow these metrics: | Feature | Dimension | | :--- | :--- | | **Terminal Pitch** | 4.70mm (0.185") | | **Bushing Diameter** | M6 x 0.75 or 1/4-40 UNS | | **Total Height** | ~25mm - 30mm |
