The **FRS-06-R/BL** is an electronic component typically categorized as a **Panel Mount Rocker Switch**. It is widely used in power distribution, consumer electronics, and industrial controls to engage or disengage electrical circuits. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic specifications and features. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The electrical rating determines the maximum current and voltage the switch can handle safely without failing or overheating. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Model Number** | FRS-06-R/BL | | **Circuitry** | SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) | | **Function** | ON-OFF | | **Current Rating** | 6A @ 250V AC / 10A @ 125V AC | | **Contact Resistance** | ≤ 50mΩ (Initial) | | **Insulation Resistance** | ≥ 100MΩ @ 500V DC | | **Dielectric Strength** | 1500V AC for 1 minute | | **Operating Temperature** | -25°C to +85°C | ### 2. Physical and Visual Characteristics The suffix **"R/BL"** usually denotes the color coding of the component: * **R:** Red (often referring to the illuminated rocker or a red casing). * **BL:** Black (usually referring to the body/frame of the switch). #### Key Components: * **Actuator:** The "rocker" part that pivots to open or close the circuit. * **Housing:** Made of Nylon 66 (UL 94V-2 flame retardant plastic). * **Terminals:** Silver-plated brass lugs, typically designed for **Quick Connect (0.187" or 4.8mm)** or soldering. * **Illumination:** Many versions of this series include an internal Neon or LED lamp that lights up when the switch is in the "ON" position. ### 3. Pinout and Connection Since it is an **SPST** switch, it usually features 2 or 3 pins: 1. **Pin 1 (Line):** Incoming power source. 2. **Pin 2 (Load):** Connection to the device being powered. 3. **Pin 3 (Neutral/Ground):** Only present if the switch is **illuminated** (used to power the internal lamp). ### 4. Typical Applications * **Power Strips:** Used as the main reset or power toggle. * **Small Appliances:** Coffee makers, vacuum cleaners, and fans. * **DIY Electronics:** Power control for benchtop power supplies. * **Automotive/Marine:** Dash-mounted accessory toggles (when rated for DC). ---
