Where Φ2.70 × 22.90 mm Sits in the Range

Φ2.70 × 22.90 mm combines a 2.70 mm diameter with a 22.90 mm relay pitch, balancing tube space and relay count.

This pairing is common in builds that want a standard relay pitch with more clearance around the rod.

What to Confirm for Φ2.70 × 22.90 mm

Design note: Φ2.70 × 22.90 mm balances wall clearance and relay count; confirm the datum and edge treatment on your drawing.
