The **M6SWVS-5A-R/UL** is a specific model of a **Miniature Toggle Switch**, typically used in industrial controls, telecommunications, and instrumentation. Below is a breakdown of its electronic specifications and physical characteristics. ### 1. General Specifications This switch is designed for high reliability and space-saving applications. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Toggle Switch | | **Contact Configuration** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Current Rating** | 5A @ 120VAC or 28VDC; 2A @ 250VAC | | **Terminal Type** | Vertical Right Angle (PC Mount) | | **Actuator Style** | Standard Round Bat | | **Compliance** | UL Recognized, RoHS Compliant | --- ### 2. Electronic Characteristics The internal mechanics and electrical limits define its usage in a circuit. * **Switching Function (ON-NONE-ON):** This is a two-position switch. It maintains the circuit connection in either position (latching), with no "OFF" center position. * **Contact Resistance:** Typically 10mΩ max initial at 2-4VDC, 100mA. * **Insulation Resistance:** 1,000 MΩ minimum. * **Dielectric Strength:** 1,000 Vrms minimum at sea level. * **Operating Temperature:** Generally rated for -30°C to +85°C. --- ### 3. Physical & Mechanical Parts The model code "VS" indicates the mounting orientation, which is crucial for PCB design. * **Vertical Support (VS):** The switch is designed to be mounted on a PCB such that the toggle moves vertically relative to the board, supported by a metal bracket for mechanical stability. * **Bushing:** Usually threaded or unthreaded (6mm diameter range), allowing for panel mounting if required. * **Material:** * **Contacts:** Silver-plated (Standard for the 5A rating). * **Housing:** Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) or high-temp nylon. * **Actuator:** Brass, chrome plated. --- ### 4.
