The **10TS-110-R** is a specific electronic component within the **Tactile Switch** family. These switches are momentary push-button switches commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) designs. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the typical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 10TS-110-R series: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Tactile / Momentary | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD / SMT) | | **Actuator Height** | 1.10 mm | | **Operating Force** | 160gf to 250gf (typical) | | **Contact Rating** | 50mA @ 12V DC | | **Contact Resistance** | 100mΩ Max | | **Insulation Resistance** | 100MΩ Min @ 100V DC | | **Dielectric Strength** | 250V AC for 1 minute | | **Operating Life** | ~50,000 to 100,000 cycles | --- ## 2. Key Features The "10TS" series is characterized by its compact form factor and reliability. * **Tactile Feedback:** Provides a distinct "click" sensation when pressed, letting the user know the connection has been made. * **Low Profile:** With an actuator height of roughly 1.1mm, it is ideal for thin devices like smartphones, wearables, or remote controls. * **SMD Design:** The "-R" suffix usually denotes **Tape and Reel** packaging, which is designed for automated "pick and place" assembly lines. * **Durability:** Made with high-temperature plastics to withstand reflow soldering processes. --- ## 3. Pinout and Internal Diagram Tactile switches of this style usually have 4 terminals, though they only represent a single-pole, single-throw (**SPST**) circuit. ```text Terminal 1 ---[ ]--- Terminal 2 | (Button) | Terminal 3 ---[ ]--- Terminal 4 ``` * *Note: Usually, Pins 1 & 2 are internally connected, and Pins 3 & 4 are internally connected. Pressing the button bridges the gap between the two sets.* --- ## 4. Common Applications * **Consumer Electronics:** Volume buttons on tablets, power buttons on cameras. * **Industrial:** Reset switches on embedded system boards. * **Peripherals:** Computer mice, keyboards, and printers. * **Automotive:** Dashboard controls and key fobs.
