The **W2TS-1AA-R2** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **Surface Mount (SMT) Micro Switch** or a tactile detection switch, often manufactured by companies like **CIT Relay & Switch** or similar industrial suppliers. --- ### ## Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core electrical and mechanical characteristics of the W2TS series: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Detector / Tactile Switch | | **Actuator Type** | Standard Plunger / Lever (Series Dependent) | | **Circuit** | SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) | | **Switch Function** | Off-Mom (Normally Open, Momentary) | | **Contact Rating** | 1mA to 50mA @ 5VDC - 12VDC | | **Operating Force** | ~100gf to 160gf | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD/SMT), Right Angle | | **Operating Temp** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ### ### Key Electronic Features 1. **Low Profile Design:** Designed for space-constrained PCB layouts. The "R2" suffix often denotes a **Right Angle** orientation, meaning the actuation happens parallel to the PCB surface. 2. **Gold-Plated Contacts:** Most parts in this series use gold plating to ensure high reliability and low contact resistance, especially in low-current logic level switching. 3. **Mechanical Durability:** These parts are rated for high life cycles (often up to 100,000 - 500,000 cycles) due to their precision spring mechanisms. 4. **Environmental Sealing:** The "W" in the prefix often signifies a level of washability or environmental protection, allowing the part to withstand soldering processes and flux cleaning. --- ### ### Typical Applications * **Consumer Electronics:** Power buttons on handheld devices. * **Telecommunications:** Reset switches or interface buttons on networking gear. * **Industrial:** Limit detection in small mechanical assemblies. * **Medical:** Interface controls for portable diagnostic tools. ---
