Abstract

Das Einbringen von Schaltern in ein Gehäuse bzw. auf eine Leiterplatte und deren Zusammenbau mit einem entsprechenden Gehäuse von Elektronik-Bauteilen erfordert Montage- und Justagearbeiten mit erheblichem technologischen Aufwand.The insertion of switches in a housing or on a PCB and its assembly with a corresponding Housing of electronic components requires assembly and Adjustment work with considerable technological effort.

Der Aufwand lässt sich verringern, indem der Schalter unter Verwendung eines Kunststoffes mit druckabhängiger elektrischer Leitfähigkeit zusammen mit dem Gehäuse (1) oder Bedien-Tableau im Mehrkomponentenspritzgießverfahren hergestellt wird.

Figure 00000001
The effort can be reduced by producing the switch using a plastic with pressure-dependent electrical conductivity together with the housing (1) or control panel in a multi-component injection molding process.
