The **M2REB-RBC-R/UL** is a specialized electronic component, specifically a **Micro-Switch** or **Limit Switch** often utilized in industrial control systems and consumer appliances. Below is a detailed breakdown of its technical specifications and features. --- ### 1. General Product Overview This part belongs to a category of electromechanical switches characterized by a small physical footprint and high reliability. The "UL" suffix indicates that the component is certified by **Underwriters Laboratories**, ensuring it meets specific safety standards for the North American market. ### 2. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Micro-Switch / Snap Action Switch | | **Actuator Style** | Typically a Roller Lever or Plunger (Model specific) | | **Contact Configuration** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Current Rating** | Usually 5A to 15A (Depending on voltage) | | **Voltage Rating** | 125V / 250V AC | | **Termination Style** | Solder terminals or Quick Connect | | **Safety Certification** | UL / CSA / RoHS Compliant | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics * **Snap Action Mechanism:** The switch utilizes a spring-loaded mechanism that snaps the contacts from one position to another at a specific trip point. This minimizes arcing and ensures a decisive electrical connection. * **Differential Travel:** It features a very small distance between the "Operating Point" and the "Release Point," making it ideal for precision sensing. * **Durability:** Designed for high-frequency operation, often rated for millions of mechanical cycles. ### 4. Typical Applications * **Safety Interlocks:** Ensuring a machine door is closed before operation. * **Limit Sensing:** Detecting the end-of-travel for a motorized component (e.g., a 3D printer axis or a garage door). * **Appliances:** Used in microwave ovens, washing machines, and vending machines to detect panel positions or button presses. --- ### 5. Part Number Breakdown (Typical) While manufacturers have unique codes, the suffixing in this part number usually indicates: * **RBC:** Often refers to the specific lever type (e.g., Short Roller Lever). * **R:** Can denote "RoHS Compliant" or a specific orientation of the terminals. * **UL:** Regulatory compliance marking.
