The **W2AC-AZ1C-R/N** is a specific model within a series of industrial power connectors or switch components (often associated with high-current AC power entry modules or industrial control switches). Below is a breakdown of the typical electronic specifications and characteristics associated with this part number. --- ### 1. General Specifications This part is designed for high-reliability power management in industrial environments. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | AC Power Entry / Toggle Control Module | | **Max Voltage Rating** | 250V AC | | **Current Rating** | 10A - 20A (Model dependent) | | **Contact Resistance** | < 50 mΩ | | **Insulation Resistance** | > 100 MΩ at 500V DC | | **Operating Temperature** | -25°C to +85°C | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown While manufacturer naming conventions vary slightly, the "AZ1C" and suffix "R/N" generally indicate specific physical and electrical configurations: * **W2AC:** Series prefix indicating a specific housing style or mounting standard (often Panel Mount). * **AZ1C:** Internal circuitry code. Usually refers to a **Single Pole Single Throw (SPST)** or **Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT)** configuration. * **R/N:** * **R:** Often indicates a **Red** actuator or indicator light. * **N:** Indicates a **Neon** lamp is used for illumination (as opposed to LED). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Components The internal construction of the W2AC-AZ1C-R/N typically involves three main elements: #### A. The Contact Mechanism Uses silver-alloy contacts to minimize arcing and ensure longevity under high inductive or resistive loads. #### B. The Illumination Circuit Since it features a "Neon" (N) designation: - **Neon Bulb:** Operates directly on AC voltage. - **Current Limiting Resistor:** A high-value resistor (typically 33kΩ to 150kΩ) is integrated in series with the neon bulb to prevent burnout at 110V/220V. #### C. Terminal Style Usually features **Faston (Quick Connect)** terminals (typically 4.8mm or 6.3mm) for secure wiring in industrial cabinets. --- ### 4. Safety and Compliance These parts are typically certified by international safety bodies to ensure they can handle mains power safely: * **UL/cUL:** Recognized for the US and Canadian markets. * **VDE/ENEC:** European safety standards for switches. * **RoHS:** Compliant with hazardous substance restrictions. ---
