WRS-1DA-R
AI

The **WRS-1DA-R** is a specific model of a **Miniature Toggle Switch**, typically manufactured by companies like **Walsin** or similar electronic component vendors. It is commonly used for PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounting to control the flow of current in a circuit.
Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic specifications and physical characteristics.
### 1. Technical Specifications
The following table highlights the core electrical and mechanical parameters for the WRS-1DA-R series.
| Feature | Specification |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Contact Configuration** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) |
| **Switch Operation** | ON-ON (Latching) |
| **Contact Rating** | 5A @ 125VAC or 28VDC; 2A @ 250VAC |
| **Contact Resistance** | 10 mΩ max. (initial) |
| **Insulation Resistance** | 1,000 MΩ min. |
| **Dielectric Strength** | 1,500 V RMS @ sea level |
| **Operating Temperature** | -30°C to +85°C |
| **Mechanical Life** | 40,000 make-and-break cycles |

### 2. Component Breakdown
#### A. Contact Type: SPDT
The **Single Pole Double Throw** configuration means the switch has one input (common) and two possible outputs. In an "ON-ON" configuration, the circuit is never truly "off"; rather, the current is redirected from one terminal to the other depending on the toggle position.
#### B. Terminal Style: Right Angle (R)
The **"-R"** suffix in the part number usually denotes a **Right Angle PCB Mount**.
* Unlike standard vertical switches, the pins are bent at a 90-degree angle.
* This allows the switch to be mounted on the edge of a board so the toggle protrudes from the side of a device casing.
#### C. Materials
* **Case & Bushing:** High-temperature PBT (Polybutylene terephthalate) or Nylon.
* **Actuator:** Brass, chrome plated.
* **Contacts:** Silver plated (standard) or Gold plated (for low-level switching).

### 3. Pinout Diagram (Typical)
For a standard SPDT toggle switch, the pins are arranged as follows:
| Pin Number | Function |
| :--- | :--- |
| **1** | Output A |
| **2 (Center)** | Common (Input) |
| **3** | Output B |
* **Position 1:** Pin 2 is connected to Pin 1.
* **Position 2:** Pin 2 is connected to Pin 3.

### 4. Applications
Due to its miniature size and right-angle orientation, the WRS-1DA-R is frequently found in:
* **Telecommunications:** Network switching equipment.
* **Instrumentation:** Handheld test devices and medical equipment.
* **Audio/Visual:** Pedal effects for guitars and mixer consoles.
* **Computers:** Peripheral power or mode selection.
