  • the bobbin 10 has at its end two annular end flanges 12, between which the winding package 14 of a conductor 16 extends, which in the Fig.1 is shown only schematically.
  • a switching member (not shown) is guided, which is surrounded by a so-called. Polrohr (not shown).
  • the pertinent arrangement is known, so that will not be discussed here at this point. With the switching part, however, can be controlled on actuation of the switching device conventional valves and thus determine their switching position.
  • the bobbin 10 is surrounded by a substantially cylindrically shaped housing 18 made of metallic material.
  • the conductor 16 of the winding 14 is electrically connected to contact parts 20 in the form of three connector lugs of a connector plug 22 in connection.
  • the details of the pertinent connection technology between the conductor 16, the winding 14 and the electrically conductive parts of the connector plug 22 can be particularly from the Fig.2 of the DE 43 41 087 C2 see, so that at this point will not be discussed further.
  • a plastic mass 24 in particular in the form of a Kunststoffvergußmasse. This can be injected in gaps between the parts with increased temperature and cures there.
  • a plastic mass 24 For the pertinent encapsulation of the actual switching device with the plastic mass 24 is a Umg screen- or Umspritzform (not shown in detail), in which the parts of the switching device can be inserted.
  • the contact parts 20 in the form of the three connector lugs can be cut or punched out of a flat board and are then encapsulated with the plastic material of the connector plug 22 in the form of the connector plate 26.
  • the pertinent connector plate 26 is as shown in the Fig.2 seen from below, wherein the simpler representation because the connector lugs have been omitted and only the three recesses 28 can be seen in the connector plate 26 through which the contact members 20 are passed in the form of the connector lugs.
  • the plug plate 26 has substantially centrally a plug insert 30 which is formed in the manner of a socket. By means of this plug insert 30 can be the plug plate 26 while maintaining a distance on the outer peripheral surface 32 of the housing 18 put on.
  • the plug insert 30 has an internal thread 34 and two cutting inserts 36 which are separated from one another in the axial direction and which are each provided with a longitudinal toothing.
  • the pertinent cutting inserts 36 guarantee a firm grip of the plug insert 30 both in the metal housing 18 and in the connector plate 26 with its plastic material.
  • the internal thread 34 is part of a screw which the plug-in plate 26 for the purpose of power connection with a device plug (not shown) with this received.
  • the plug insert 30 is connected to the serving as a ground terminal 38 contact part 20 of the connector plate 26 and in particular reaches through the addressed ground terminal 38 in a conductive form.
  • the plug insert 30 is preferably already introduced into the connector plate 26 and is then pressed together with this against the housing 18 at least until a secure hold of the lower part of the cutting insert 36th in the Housing 18 is guaranteed.
  • the housing 18, the bobbin 10 and the winding 14 are substantially rotationally symmetrical components and the Kuhststoffvergußmasse 24 is in the Fig.1 shown hatched and shows the poured out spaces and column of the switching device.
  • the plastic mass 24 should in addition to the electrical insulation substantially ensure that moisture, for example in the form of condensate od, etc., can not penetrate into the switching device, although it can not be ruled out that due to the capillary moisture nevertheless enters the switching device , wherein the capillary effect in particular between the connecting surface of the plastic mass 24 and the other parts of the switching device, such as housing 18 or the parts of the connector plate 26 is formed.
  • additional sealing means 40 are provided which cover the interior 42 of the switching device with respect to the surroundings 44 (cf. Fig.1 ) seal.
  • the respective sealing means 40 is formed from a sealing ridge 48, wherein the sealing ridge 48 consists of a fusible material and wherein during the application of the plastic mass 24, this has a temperature that the respective sealing ridge 48 merges with the plastic mass 24 fluid-tight.
  • the sealing ridge 48 In order to show the arrangement of the sealing ridge 48, this is pictorially in the Fig.1 shown, although there already the plastic material 24 has been introduced into the actual switching device. Accordingly, the sealing bar 48 forms a closed sealing ring before merging with the actual plastic mass 24.
