Definitions
- the invention relates to a rocker switch according to the preamble of claim 1, e.g. known from US-A-4 425 487.
- a rocker switch with at least one contact point arranged on a printed circuit board is known from JP 50 41 141.
- the contact point is actuated here by means of of a cam formed on the rocker switch, which is designed as a contact spring movable contact against the fixed contact.
- This configuration of a rocker switch is disadvantageous in that the actuation of the Contact point depends on the position of the rocker switch, with slight displacements can lead to incorrect actuation due to tolerance-related dimensional deviations.
- two contact points are advantageously next to one another arranged, which can be actuated alternately by the rocker switch.
- the invention comprises a housing, in which the circuit board with the at least one contact point and the rocker switch are arranged.
- the circuit board is connected to a base that snaps into the housing is, wherein the rocker switch is expediently locked in the housing.
- the Rocker switch is water-protected by moving the housing towards the rocker switch with a Membrane is closed, the at least one plate for actuating the at least a contact point from the rocker switch with the Memran interposed can be actuated.
- they are made of a more or less elastic, tearproof Membrane formed the action from the rocker switch transfers to the relevant plate without the membrane being damaged thereby or has an opening for the plate.
- the rocker switch is on the housing on the actuation side an edge is formed that surrounds the rocker switch all around, only the formed on the rocker switch protrudes the edge.
- locking projections are formed on the housing, which the Allow locking in a mounting surface.
- the fixed and movable contacts optionally with flat plug connections, with cable solder connections or with another Printed circuit board connected, which in turn in the latter case corresponding power connections has, by means of which the electrical connection of the rocker switch takes place.
- a rocker switch 10 according to the invention is shown in side view, which in one Housing 12 is arranged and locked therein by means of locking projections 14.
- the Housing hides all other details of the rocker switch 10 with the exception of one 1 protruding switching pin 16 and on the underside of the housing 12 above, here designed as cable connection soldering eyelets 18 electrical connection contacts 20th
- rocker switch 10 shown in side view in FIG. 1 is shown in longitudinal section in FIG. 2. As can be seen in the illustration, are on a mounting surface 22 attached housing 12 is initially arranged a rocker switch 24 which around on the long sides located locking cams 26 is pivotable, which can be seen in Fig.1 are. Below that are two contact points 28, 30 located next to each other, which can be actuated by means of two plates 32, 34.
- the contact points 28, 30 are in turn attached to a first circuit board 36 is connected to a base 38 which is locked in the housing 12.
- solder pins 40 are provided, which engage in a second circuit board 42.
- the switching pin 16 engages through one in the mounting surface recess 44 provided for this purpose. Outside of the mounting surface is on the switching pin 16 is a transversely displaceable actuating element 46 in the form of a hat-shaped cap placed with which the actuation of the rocker switch 24 takes place and thus a switching operation, that is, the actuation of one of the two contact points 28, 30.
- FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the electrical connection contacts 20 shown by means of tab terminals 48. The rest of the arrangement of the this rocker button is as described above.
