The **2TS-70-R** is a specific model of a **Toggle Switch**, typically manufactured by companies like **Dailywell** or similar industrial component suppliers. This specific part number follows a modular naming convention common in electronic hardware. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The "2TS" series generally refers to sub-miniature or miniature toggle switches designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting. | Feature | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Toggle Switch | | **Circuit Type** | DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) | | **Switch Function** | On-On (2-Position) | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (Right Angle / Vertical) | | **Contact Rating** | 0.4 VA max @ 20V AC or DC (Logic Level) | | **Operating Temp** | -30°C to +85°C | | **Materials** | Gold or Silver plated contacts; UL94V-0 Case | --- ## 2. Part Number Breakdown While conventions vary slightly by manufacturer, the code `2TS-70-R` usually decodes as follows: 1. **2TS**: Series identifier (Miniature/Sub-miniature Toggle). 2. **70**: Indicates the **Terminal Style**. In many catalogs, "7" or "70" refers to a **Right-Angle (Horizontal)** mounting configuration for PCB integration. 3. **R**: Often indicates **RoHS Compliance** (Lead-free) or specifically refers to the **Actuator/Lever** type (e.g., standard round lever). --- ## 3. Key Electronic Components & Materials * **Contacts**: Usually made of copper alloy with **Gold plating** over nickel. Gold is used because these switches are often "logic level" (low voltage), where oxidation must be prevented to ensure a clean signal. * **Housing**: High-temperature plastic (Diallyl Phthalate - DAP). This allows the part to withstand the heat of wave soldering. * **Bushing**: Nickel-plated brass, providing mechanical stability when the toggle is flipped. --- ## 4. Common Applications Due to its small footprint and right-angle mounting, this part is frequently found in: * **Telecommunications equipment** (Reset or mode selection). * **Instrumentation** (On/Off toggles for handheld devices). * **Medical electronics** (Control panels). * **Audio/Visual gear** (Channel switching or signal routing). ---
