  • From the drive head leads an actuating plunger into the interior of the housing.
  • a contact carrier is supported by the actuating plunger is shifted in the predetermined direction of actuation by this.
  • the contact carrier carries two contact bridges, one behind the other in the direction of actuation are arranged. Each contact bridge is assigned two fixed contacts, which with Screw terminals connected and in the interior in pairs on opposite, are held on the mounting opening adjoining side walls.
  • a contact element is known, the one has two-part cuboid housing; in which an actuating tappet stored is, in turn, carries a contact bridge spring-loaded.
  • the parallel to the housing cover extending contact bridge acts with the side of this arranged Fixed contacts together, which pass into terminals. connecting cables are via insertion holes in the opposite narrow sides of the housing are admitted to supply the terminals.

  • the displaceably mounted in the housing 4 contact carrier 20 has, according to Fig. 2a - 2c lateral guide webs 38 which, with correspondingly formed structures of the Cooperation housing 4.
  • openings 40 and 42 are provided, in which a first and a second contact bridge 44th and 46, while resisting the force of contact springs 48 and 50 within the apertures 40 and 42 are displaceable.
  • On the movable contact bridges 44 and 46 each end contact pieces 52 are applied, which, related to the respective contact bridge 44 or 46, in different directions opposite the direction of actuation R show.
  • the openings 40 and 42 are in the Carried out that seen from the mounting hole 24 from (Fig. 2c), the Contact bridges 44 and 46 move side by side and transversely to the direction of actuation R extend.
  • the position switch further includes a first and a second Terminal block 54 and 56, in a first and second chamber 58 and 60 of a Inner housing 62 are engaged. Together with the connection blocks 54, 56 the inner housing 62 is locked in the housing 4, wherein the inner housing 62nd partially covers the contact carrier 20 and ensures against falling out.
  • the Terminal blocks 54 and 56 each consist of an identical base body, in the terminals and fixed contacts are stored.
  • the base body 64 of the first connection block 54 carries two first ones Fixed contacts 66 and two terminals 70.
  • the terminals 70 are as Tension spring terminals formed and non-positively connected to one of the first fixed contacts 66 connected.
  • the first fixed contacts 66 and the terminals 70 are non-positively and positively inserted in the base body 64.
  • the main body 64 of the second terminal block 56, two second fixed contacts 68 and two terminals also designed as Glasfederklemmen 70th Auf the second fixed contacts 68 applied fixed contact pieces 53 point in the actuating direction R, whereas applied to the first fixed contacts 66 show fixed contact pieces 53 in the opposite direction.
  • the basic body 64 are shown in FIG. 1 in the usual way with elastic first locking means 72nd equipped with corresponding, formed in the chambers 58 and 60 second locking means 74 cooperate.
  • first fixed contacts 66 of the first Terminal block 54 form with the mounted in the contact carrier 20 first Contact bridge 44 has a normally open contact.
  • the second fixed contacts 68 of the second Terminal block 56 form with the second contact bridge mounted in the contact carrier 20 46 a normally closed contact.
  • the terminal blocks 54, 56th and the terminals 70 mounted in these are juxtaposed in a row and perpendicular to the direction of actuation R.
  • the terminals 70 are for clamping the inserted through the insertion opening 22
  • Connecting cables easily accessible, with already attached connecting cables Do not obstruct the connection of the remaining or additional connecting cables can.
