  • the structure of the electrical switching element is complicated and expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is now to be seen to obtain a switching element with a small installation depth and few components, which is simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • this switching element should also provide tactile feedback to an operator when operating.
  • This object is achieved by a switching element having the features of claim 1, which has the following special significance.
  • the switching element according to the invention has at least one contact element, whereby an electrical connection between at least two existing electrical switching contacts can be generated by an actuation of the switching element.
  • a carrier plate is provided, which has, inter alia, electrical connection contacts for the switching element. These connection contacts can simply consist of conductor tracks or of so-called solder pads, to which, for example, an electrical line can be connected.
  • a housing for the switching element is provided, which surrounds the contact element and at least partially or completely the carrier plate - protected against environmental influences - surrounds.
  • the support plate itself is arranged wholly or partially stationary in the housing. If the carrier plate is arranged completely in the housing, only one connection connection leads out of the switching element, in particular the housing.
  • the carrier plate is only partially arranged in the housing, the protruding part of the carrier plate with its conductor tracks can serve to connect the switching element.
  • the switching contacts which are electrically connected to each other by the contact element, are arranged directly on the support plate.
  • a movable actuating element is provided on or in the housing, whereby a movement and / or deformation of the contact element is effected, whereby the electrical signal or an electrical state is reached. Since the switching contacts are arranged directly on the support plate, on which the contact element acts electrically conductive, a particularly space-saving design of the switching element is possible.
  • the movement and / or deformation of the contact element provides a tactile feedback to the operator. Since the housing is not only arranged around the contact element and the switch contacts, but also at least partially around the support plate, the switching element is protected against environmental influences. Furthermore, the entire switching element can be integrated with its housing in another unit.

Due to the thus existing mechanical stresses, the contact element can automatically change from the switching position to the rest position. Consequently, can be dispensed with in such a designed contact element on an additional spring for the switching change.
  • the contact element itself is designed as a spring element to independently from the switching position in the To arrive at rest. Of course, optionally, an additional spring may be provided for the switching change.
