The **TS-00-R** typically refers to a specific series of **Rotary DIP Switches** or low-profile tactile components (often manufactured by brands like Copal Electronics or specific industrial suppliers). These parts are critical for manual configuration on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Below is a breakdown of the electronic specifications and characteristics for this component series. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The TS-00-R series is characterized by its compact size and binary encoding capabilities. | Feature | Specification (Standard) | | :--- | :--- | | **Switch Type** | Rotary DIP Switch | | **Positions** | 10 (0-9) or 16 (0-F) | | **Output Code** | Real Binary / Complementary | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD) or Through-Hole | | **Contact Rating** | 5V DC, 100mA (Switching) | | **Operating Temp** | -25°C to +70°C | | **Actuator Style** | Recessed (Flat) or Extended Shaft | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Materials The internal architecture of the TS-00-R ensures long-term reliability and precise electrical contact. * **Contact Mechanism:** Usually utilizes **gold-plated** contacts to prevent oxidation and ensure low contact resistance over the component's lifespan. * **Wiping Contact:** The internal metal brush "wipes" the contact pad during rotation, which self-cleans debris and ensures a solid electrical connection. * **Housing Material:** High-temperature thermoplastic (usually PPS or LCP), designed to withstand **Reflow Soldering** temperatures (approx. 260°C). * **Sealing:** Most "R" variants feature an **O-ring or epoxy seal** (Washable), allowing the PCB to be cleaned with solvents after soldering without damaging the internals. --- ### 3. Circuit Logic Example The TS-00-R acts as a hardware-level address or mode selector. In a 10-position BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) configuration, the pins correspond to powers of 2. ```text Position | Pin 1 (1) | Pin 2 (2) | Pin 3 (4) | Pin 4 (8) ---------|-----------|-----------|-----------|----------- 0 | OFF | OFF | OFF | OFF 1 | ON | OFF | OFF | OFF 5 | ON | OFF | ON | OFF 9 | ON | OFF | OFF | ON ``` --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Industrial Controls:** Setting Modbus or CAN bus node IDs. * **Telecommunications:** Configuring frequency bands or hardware presets. * **Consumer Electronics:** Hard-coding regional settings or security codes on garage door openers.
