  • the slide switch consists of a fixed part and a part displaceable to the fixed part, wherein the displaceable part in at least two directions, at least in the horizontal plane, is displaceable.
  • slide switches comprising a slider with moving contacts and a base part or housing with stationary contacts.
  • a switching function when the movable contacts are connected to or disconnected from the stationary contacts, a switching function, a mode switching function, or other electrical function are performed.
  • a conventional slide switch for example, for use in a dictation machine, consists of two parts, a displaceable part, which is movably mounted, and a fixed part relative to the movable part, the so-called detent gate.
  • the movable part is moved over the detent gate; it can be moved over this.
  • the detent gate here has elevations and depressions over which the displaceable part slides.
  • the sliding part dives when moving over the detent gate in their wells.
  • the displaceable part in this case has a resilient element, which allows the displaceable part to overcome the difference between elevations and depressions of the detent gate. If the displaceable part is positioned in the depression, electrical contact points of the displaceable part become corresponding Contact points connected. It is thus closed via these contact points when latched in the recess of the detent gate contact.
