### Overview of the M2TS-11-R/BL The **M2TS-11-R/BL** is a specialized electronic component, typically categorized as a **Miniature Toggle Switch**. These switches are designed for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting and are commonly used in industrial controls, telecommunications, and instrumentation. --- ### Technical Specifications Below are the primary electronic and mechanical characteristics of the M2TS-11-R/BL: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Toggle Switch | | **Circuit Configuration** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Switch Function** | ON-ON (2 positions) | | **Current Rating** | ~6A @ 125VAC / 3A @ 250VAC | | **Contact Resistance** | 10 mΩ Max | | **Insulation Resistance** | 1,000 MΩ Min | | **Dielectric Strength** | 1,500 VAC for 1 minute | | **Mounting Type** | Through-hole (Right Angle / Vertical options) | | **Actuator Style** | Standard Bat Lever | --- ### Component Breakdown #### 1. Contact Configuration (SPDT) The "11" in the part number often signifies the internal circuitry. As an **SPDT** switch, it has one common terminal and two output terminals. It routes the input signal to one of two different paths. #### 2. Terminals and Mounting The **"R"** in the suffix generally refers to a **Right-Angle** mounting orientation. This allows the switch to be mounted on the edge of a PCB so the toggle protrudes from the side of the device enclosure. #### 3. Color Coding (**BL**) The **"BL"** suffix usually denotes the color of the actuator or the bushing, most commonly **Blue**. In some manufacturer catalogs, this may also indicate a specific waterproof or dust-tight cap material. --- ### Applications * **Audio Equipment:** Signal routing and power toggling. * **Industrial Panels:** Mode selection (Manual vs. Auto). * **Test Equipment:** Switching between different measurement ranges. * **Networking:** Reset or configuration switches for routers and switches. --- ### PCB Footprint Example If you are designing a board for this component, the pin pitch is standard for miniature toggles: ```text Pin 1: Output A Pin 2: Common (Center) Pin 3: Output B Pitch: 4.7mm (0.185") or 5.08mm (0.2") depending on brand variation. ```
