The **10MS-G2-R** is a specific electronic component, typically categorized as a **Surface Mount (SMD) Tactile Switch**. These components are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive interfaces, and industrial controls to provide physical feedback to a user. Below is a detailed breakdown of its technical specifications and characteristics. --- ### 1. General Specifications The 10MS series usually refers to sub-miniature or micro-miniature switches designed for high-density PCB mounting. | Parameter | Typical Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Tactile Switch (Momentary) | | **Mounting Style** | Surface Mount Device (SMD/SMT) | | **Actuation Direction** | Vertical (Top Actuated) | | **Termination Style** | Gull-wing (R-type) or J-bend leads | | **Contact Arrangement** | SPST (Single Pole Single Throw), Normally Open | ### 2. Physical & Mechanical Properties The "G2" in the part number often indicates a specific generation or physical height profile, while "R" typically denotes the packaging format (Tape & Reel). * **Tactile Feedback:** Provides a distinct "click" when pressed, confirming the circuit has closed. * **Operating Force:** Usually ranges between **160gf to 260gf** (grams-force). * **Travel Distance:** Short-stroke, typically **0.25mm**. * **Durability:** High lifecycle rating, often between **100,000 to 1,000,000 cycles** depending on the specific sub-variant. ### 3. Electrical Characteristics Designed for low-power signal switching, not for power distribution. | Feature | Rating | | :--- | :--- | | **Max Voltage** | 12V DC to 24V DC | | **Max Current** | 50mA | | **Contact Resistance** | < 100 mΩ | | **Insulation Resistance** | > 100 MΩ at 100V DC | ### 4. Key Applications Because of its small footprint and reliability, the 10MS-G2-R is found in: * **Mobile Devices:** Volume or power buttons. * **Wearables:** Smartwatches and fitness trackers. * **Automotive:** Key fobs and dashboard controls. * **Medical:** Handheld diagnostic tools. --- ### Comparison Table: Suffix Meanings | Suffix | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **G2** | Refers to the "Ground" pin configuration or the second generation height/actuator style. | | **R** | **RoHS Compliant** and **Tape & Reel** packaging for automated pick-and-place machines. | ---
