Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de commande, en particulier un commutateur électrique (1) destiné à être utilisé sur un outil manuel électrique, par exemple un outil électrique alimenté par accumulateur et/ou le réseau, par exemple une foreuse, une meuleuse, une scie, un rabot, une meuleuse d'angles ou similaire, qui présente un moteur électrique. Le commutateur (1) présente un boîtier (2) pour recevoir au moins un composant de puissance dégageant de la chaleur, par exemple un transistor de puissance, un MOS-FET, un triac ou similaire, qui est disposé en particulier dans un circuit électrique. Le circuit électrique sert par exemple à commander et/ou à réguler le moteur électrique par une commande et/ou une régulation appropriée du courant électrique de charge qui s'écoule dans le composant de puissance en direction du moteur électrique. Le composant de puissance dégageant de la chaleur et/ou au moins des parties du circuit sont reliés de manière thermiquement conductrice à un corps de refroidissement (6) situé sur le côté extérieur du boîtier (2). Le corps de refroidissement (6) présente au moins deux parties, la première partie du corps de refroidissement (6) étant disposée dans le boîtier (2) de telle sorte que le composant dégageant de la chaleur et/ou au moins des parties du circuit soient reliés directement à la première partie, la deuxième partie (12) du corps de refroidissement (6) débordant hors du boîtier (2), en particulier sous la forme d'une sortie latérale située sur les deux côtés du boîtier (2). Par ailleurs, on crée un commutateur électrique (1) qui présente un porte-contact élastique, le déplacement de l'organe d'actionnement (3) étant dévié sensiblement dans la direction transversale par rapport à l'action sur le système de contact. Enfin, le commutateur électrique (1) peut présenter un dispositif (24) de blocage de branchement qui présente un organe de blocage, l'organe de blocage étant constitué d'une nervure en matière synthétique.
