The **M6DPP-CA1R-R** is a high-performance, industrial-grade micro-switch part number, typically associated with the **M6 series** of push-button components (often manufactured by companies like Omron or specialized industrial switch suppliers). Below is a breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications. --- ### 1. Component Breakdown The part number follows a modular configuration typical for industrial control components: | Segment | Description | Typical Specification | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **M6** | Series Identifier | 16mm diameter mounting series | | **DPP** | Operator Type | Square, Non-lighted (often) or specific Guarded Plunger | | **CA** | Contact Configuration | Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) | | **1R** | Color/Style | Red button / Standard Action | | **-R** | RoHS Compliance | Lead-free and environmentally regulated | --- ### 2. Electrical Specifications As a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switch, it controls two separate circuits simultaneously. * **Rated Voltage:** Typically up to 250V AC / 30V DC. * **Current Rating:** Generally rated for **3A to 5A** at 125V AC (Resistive load). * **Contact Resistance:** $\leq 50 m\Omega$ (Initial). * **Insulation Resistance:** $100 M\Omega$ minimum (at 500V DC). * **Dielectric Strength:** 1,000V AC between non-consecutive terminals. --- ### 3. Physical & Mechanical Parts The assembly consists of three primary layers: 1. **The Actuator (Cap):** A 16mm square red button. It provides the tactile interface for the user. 2. **The Switch Block:** Contains the silver-alloy contacts and the spring mechanism. 3. **Terminals:** Usually **Solder terminals** or **Quick-connect** tabs located at the base of the switch block. --- ### 4. Application Circuit Example A DPDT switch like this is used to toggle between two states for two different components. ```cpp // Logic Representation: // State A: Pin 1 connected to Pin 2 | Pin 4 connected to Pin 5 // State B: Pin 1 connected to Pin 3 | Pin 4 connected to Pin 6 ``` --- ### 5. Summary Table | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Mounting Hole** | 16mm Diameter | | **Action** | Momentary or Maintained (Verify suffix) | | **Contact Form** | 2C (DPDT) | | **Illumination** | Non-Illuminated (Standard for R-R suffix) | | **Protection Rating** | IP40 or IP65 (depending on seal version) | ---
