The **M2TT-13-R/N** is a specific model of a **Miniature Toggle Switch** typically manufactured by components suppliers like NKK Switches or similar industrial manufacturers. It is designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting and is used to control electrical circuits manually. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key electrical and mechanical characteristics of the M2TT-13-R/N: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Function** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Switching Operation** | ON-OFF-ON | | **Terminal Type** | Right Angle PC Terminals | | **Current Rating** | 6A @ 125V AC / 3A @ 250V AC | | **DC Rating** | 4A @ 30V DC | | **Contact Resistance** | 10 milliohms maximum | | **Insulation Resistance** | 1,000 Megohms minimum @ 500V DC | | **Mechanical Life** | 100,000 operations minimum | --- ## Component Breakdown ### 1. Actuator (The Toggle) The "R" in the suffix often refers to the specific lever type or styling (usually a standard round bat lever). It provides the physical interface for the user to flip the switch between states. ### 2. Termination Style The **-13** designation typically indicates the pin configuration. In this specific series: * **Right Angle Mounting:** The pins are bent at a 90-degree angle. * **PCB Support Bracket:** It usually includes a bracket to ensure the switch remains stable on the board when the lever is flipped. ### 3. Contact Material The switch generally uses **Silver contacts**, which are ideal for power-level switching (up to 6A). If the part number ends in "G", it would signify Gold contacts for logic-level switching. ### 4. Housing & Construction * **Base/Body:** Made of Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) or high-grade resin, which is heat resistant and prevents melting during soldering. * **Sealing:** The "N" in the suffix often denotes a standard non-sealed construction, though the terminals are usually epoxy-sealed to prevent flux entry during wave soldering. --- ## Common Applications * **Industrial Control Panels:** Used for mode selection. * **Telecommunications:** Power routing and signal switching. * **Medical Equipment:** User interface controls for portable devices. * **Audio/Visual:** Input selection on mixers or amplifiers.
