Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren zur Einstellung einer elektrischen Schaltanordnung mit einem Paar elektrischer Kontakte auf einem vorbestimmten Kontaktabstand vorgeschlagen. Ein erster Kontakt (1) wird einem ersten beweglichen Bauteil (2) und ein zweiter Kontakt einem zweiten beweglichen Bauteil zugeordnet. Der erste und der zweite Kontakt haben normalerweise den vorbestimmten Kontaktabstand voneinander und sind relativ zueinander über den Kontaktabstand bewegbar. Wenigstens einer der Kontakte ist verschiebbar auf dem zugeordneten beweglichen Bauteil gehalten. Die beweglichen Bauteile werden über dem vorbestimmten Kontaktabstand aufeinander zu bewegt. Der eine Kontakt (1) wird relativ zu dem zugeordneten beweglichen Bauteil (2) bis zum physikalischen Kontakt mit dem anderen Kontakt verschoben. Der eine Kontakt (1) wird in Position auf dem zugeordneten beweglichen Bauteil (2) fixiert, während er physikalisch in Kontakt mit dem anderen Kontakt steht.
