The **W2PV-C1BB-R** is a specific part number belonging to the **W2PV series** of high-performance tactile switches, typically manufactured by suppliers like **Omron** or specialized switch manufacturers. These components are designed for precision, reliability, and compact integration in consumer electronics and industrial interfaces. ### 1. Component Overview This component is a **Tactile Switch**. It is a momentary push-button switch that provides physical (tactile) feedback to the user when pressed. | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Tactile Switch (Momentary) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount Device (SMD/SMT) | | **Actuation Force** | Typically medium (approx. 1.6N to 2.5N) | | **Contact Arrangement** | SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw, Normally Open) | | **Termination** | Gull-wing or J-bend leads for PCB soldering | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown While manufacturer coding can vary slightly, the "W2PV" series generally follows this logic: * **W2PV**: Series designation (Ultra-subminiature tactile switch). * **C**: Actuator height/style (typically "C" denotes a specific stem height). * **1**: Operating force code. * **BB**: Packaging or material variation (often refers to Silver-plated contacts). * **R**: Packaging type (Tape and Reel for automated SMT pick-and-place). --- ### 3. Key Technical Characteristics #### A. Physical Dimensions These switches are designed for "high-density mounting." They usually feature a very small footprint (e.g., 3.0mm x 2.5mm or similar), making them ideal for wearable technology or mobile devices. #### B. Durability and Environment * **Life Expectancy**: Usually rated for 100,000 to 1,000,000 cycles. * **Sealing**: Often features an **IP67** rating (dust-tight and water-resistant), protecting the internal contacts from moisture and debris. #### C. Electrical Ratings ```json { "Max_Voltage": "12V DC", "Max_Current": "50mA", "Contact_Resistance": "< 100mΩ", "Insulation_Resistance": "> 100MΩ" } ``` --- ### 4. Applications The W2PV-C1BB-R is commonly found in: * **Wearables**: Smartwatches and fitness trackers. * **Portable Medical**: Handheld diagnostic tools. * **Consumer Tech**: Bluetooth headsets and camera shutter buttons. * **Industrial**: Low-profile control panels.
