- a movable actuator protrudes out of the housing for switching the contact system.
- the contact system can have two fixed contacts. As a result, the switching contact to the one fixed contact according to a first switching position and to the other fixed contact according to a second switching position when switching the contact system is movable.
- the invention has for its object to provide a switch with a contact system in which the number of items is reduced.
- the switch should be suitable for applications in the signal voltage range.
- the switching contact as a slider and the fixed contact are designed as a contact surface, so that the slider interacts with the contact surface when switching.
- the contact system is switched by the grinder is moved to the contact surface and / or moved away from the contact surface.
- the elastic member is configured as a leaf spring coupled to the slider for cooperation.
- the switch has approximately the switching behavior of a snap-action switch, although the contact system is greatly simplified compared to a conventional snap-action switch. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
- the switch has a housing which can be produced in a conventional manner from plastic by injection molding, and consists of a housing upper part and designed as a base housing lower part. Inside the housing, the contact system is arranged. The electrical connections for the contact system protrude from the base of the housing. The trained in the manner of a pusher actuator projects at an opening in the upper housing part movable out. To seal the inside of the housing on the upper housing part, the actuating member is provided with a bellows-shaped seal covering the opening.

In addition, the manufacturing concept leads to a shorter set-up time of the assembly machine and thus allows a small batch size per order and convincedslos.
- the switch according to the invention has a comparable to a snap and / or microswitch switching behavior, however, allows a noiseless operation, because the grinder system eliminates the otherwise typical click of a snap-action system operating with a spring. It is also advantageous that the contact force is constant over the entire path of the grinder.
- the large total path of the grinder results in a long overtravel on the closer, which in turn allows large installation tolerances.
- the contact system also allows smaller dimensions for the switch than conventional microswitches. Due to the reduction results in a material and thus cost savings.
- the switch provides a high level of protection against harmful environmental influences, by an improved tightness between the base and housing or socket and punched grid is realized. Thus, the switching system is protected against contamination and its reliability increased.
