The **RTS-1CC-R/E** is a specific surface-mount electronic component typically identified as a **tactile switch** or a low-profile push button often used in consumer electronics, automotive controls, and peripheral devices. --- ### 1. Component Overview This part belongs to a family of micro-switches designed for durability and a distinct "click" feel (tactile feedback). The suffix **R/E** usually refers to packaging specifications (like Tape & Reel) or specific environmental compliance (RoHS). ### 2. Technical Specifications The typical electrical and mechanical characteristics are summarized in the table below: | Feature | Specification (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Tactile (Momentary) | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD/SMT) | | **Actuation Force** | 1.6N to 2.5N (Standard) | | **Contact Rating** | 50mA @ 12VDC | | **Contact Resistance** | < 100 mΩ | | **Operating Life** | 100,000 to 500,000 cycles | | **Operating Temp** | -25°C to +70°C | --- ### 3. Key Features * **Tactile Feedback:** Provides a clear physical sensation to the user when the circuit is closed. * **Low Profile:** Designed with a very small height (often < 2mm) to fit inside slim devices like smartphones or remote controls. * **SMD Design:** Features "Gull-wing" or "J-lead" terminals for automated pick-and-place assembly on PCBs. * **Dust Resistance:** Many parts in this series feature a sealed construction to prevent contact contamination. ### 4. Pin Configuration and Internal Logic The device is a **Single Pole Single Throw (SPST)** switch. In a standard 4-pin tactile layout: 1. **Terminals 1 & 2:** Connected internally. 2. **Terminals 3 & 4:** Connected internally. 3. **Operation:** When the button is pressed, the bridge between (1,2) and (3,4) is closed, completing the circuit. --- ### 5. Common Applications * **Consumer Electronics:** Volume buttons, power switches on wearables. * **Computing:** Mouse buttons, reset switches on motherboards. * **Industrial:** Interface panels and membrane keypad backups.
