Definitions
- ABSTRACT A switch apparatus including a pair of movable contacts separately mounted on opposite sides of an etched circuit board and ganged together by a loose coupling including a coupling member ex- 7 tending through a hole in such circuit board.
- Fixed contacts are provided as conductive strips on both sides of the circuit board and the movable contacts are moved in and out of engagement with such fixed contacts by a rotary cam actuator mounted on such circuit board.
- acam follower surface is provided on one of a pair of insulator members joining the movable contacts to mounting springs, while in another embodiment the cam follower surface is provided on one end on the coupling member and such coupling member extends through a hole in the support portion of one of the movable contacts, while its other end engages the support portion of the other movable contact.
- the movable contacts may be short circuiting contacts each including a pair of spaced leg portions through which current flows in opposite directions to produce opposing fields which reduce the contact inductance.
- the subject matter of the present invention relates surface provided on the coupling member or on an ingenerally to electrical switch apparatus, and in particular, to switch apparatus including a pair of ganged movable contacts mounted on the opposite sides of an insulator plate, such as an etched circuit board, having fixed contacts provided thereon,--such as conductive strips coated on the circuit board.
- the movable contacts are ganged together by a loose coupling including a movable coupling member extending through a hole in such circuit board.
- Rotary cam actuating means mounted onone side of the circuit board may be employed to move the movable contacts by engagement with a cam follower surface provided either on an insulator member joining the movable contact to a mounting spring or on one end of the coupling member.
- cam actuation of onemovable contact toward the circuit board causes the other movable contact to be moved away from the circuit board.
- the movable contact is joined through an insulator member to a mounting spring to insulate such contact which lowers the stray capacitance of such movahis contact.
- the inductance and the stray capacitance of the contacts is much greater than that of the present invention so that such prior switch apparatus is not capable of as good a high frequency response.
- the switch apparatus of the present invention has low contact resistance and low open switch capacitance. As compared to previous switch apparatus having cam actuated contacts mounted on one side of the circuit board, the present invention is more compact and requires less operating force, while at the same time, having a long useful lifetime and a relatively inexpensive construction.
- Another object is to provide such a switch apparatus in which the movable contacts are separately mounted by different mounting springson opposite sides of a circuit board and are ganged together for simultaneous movement of both of such contacts by means of a common actuator.
- An additional object of the present invention is to provide such a switch apparatus in which the movable contacts are ganged together by a loose coupling means in the circuit board which enables relative movement between the movable contacts.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide such a switch apparatus in which the movable contacts are insulated from their mounting springs by insulator members to provide the movable contact with a low stray capacitance and a low inductance.
- a still further object of the present invention is to provide such a switch apparatus in which each movable contact acts as a short-circuiting switch between two fixed contacts and is provided with two spaced leg portions through which current flows in opposite directions to produce opposing fields which reduce the contact inductance.
- FIG. 1' is a perspective plan view of one embodiment of the switch apparatus of the present invention with parts broken away for purposes of clarity;
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a portion of another embodiment of the switch apparatus of the present invention employing a different type of cam follower and coupling means;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of FIG. 3.
- one embodiment of the switch apparatus of the present invention includes a pair of movable switch contacts 10 and 12 joined through insulator members 14 and 16 to one end of leaf spring mounting members 18 and 20.
- the movable contacts are separately mounted on opposite sides of an etched circuit board 22 by attaching the other ends of mounting springs 18 and 20 to the circuit board with a common rivet eyelet24 extending through an aperture in such circuit board.
- the movable contacts 10 and 12 are ganged together by a coupling member 26 of insulating material extending through an opening 28 in the circuit board and loosely coupling the two insulator members 14 and 16.
- a coupling member 26 of insulating material extending through an opening 28 in the circuit board and loosely coupling the two insulator members 14 and 16.
- a spacer portion 29 projects from insulator 16 into contact with the circuit board 22 in the closed position of movable contact 12 to set the proper amount of bending of such contact.
- each of the movable contacts and 12 is provided with a pair of leg portions 30 and 32 which are spaced apart and extend substantially parallel from their free ends to their other ends joined in common to the insulator 14 or 16.
- the leg portions 30 and 32 have bifurcated contacts at their free ends for engagement with two fixed contacts 34 and 36, respectively, provided as spaced metal strips coated on both sides of the circuit board 22.
- the movable contacts 10 and 12 each short circuit the two fixed contacts 34 and 36 when such movable contacts engage such fixed contacts.
- the two pairs of fixed contacts 34 and 36 on opposite sides of the circuit board are displaced with the upper pair being positioned to the left of the lower pair to reduce the capacitance between such pairs of contacts.
- the movable contacts 10 and 12 are insulated from their mounting springs 18 and which lowers the stray capacitance between such movable contacts and the environment as well as reducing the inductance of such contacts.
- the open circuit capacitance between the movable contacts and the fixed contacts is also reduced because it is formed by two capacitances connected in series.
- the result is a switch apparatus which is capable of an extremely high frequency response, for example, up to 5 gigahertz. This enables the switch to be employed to connect two 50 ohm characteristic impedance strip line type transmission lines together which may be formed by conductive strips on opposite sides of the circuit board 22.
- the switch apparatus can also be used as a low impedance or high impedance attenuator switch with equally good results because it has a low stray capacitance providing a high impedance in parallel with the attenuator elements.
- a common actuating means such as a rotary cam drum 38, is employed to actuate the switch apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2 by engagement with a cam follower projection 40 on the insulator member 14.
- the cam drum 38 is of a suitable plastic material and has cam projections 42 molded into its outer surface.
- Such cam drum is rotated by a control shaft 44 connected at one end to the cam drum and at its other end to a knob 46.
- the control shaft 44 and the cam drum 38 are mounted on the circuit board 22 by a suitable mounting means 48 atthe opposite ends of such drum to provide unitary switch apparatus.
- the mounting means 48 may be similar to that shown in co-pending U. S. application, Ser. No. 765,597, filed Oct. 7, 1968, by Vollum et al., now U.S.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in the FIGS. 3 and 4 which is similar to that previously described except that it employs a different coupling member 50 and different movable contacts 52 and 54 which are formed integral with their mounting springs out of a single piece of metal.
- the coupling member 50 is provided with a cam follower surface on an enlarged head portion 56 of conical configuration at one end of such coupling member by molding it out of a suitable plastic material.
- the coupling member extends through a hole in the mounting spring portion of the upper movable contact 52 and on through the opening 28 in the circuit board 22 so that its other end engages the lower movable contact 54 at its mounting spring portion.
- Rotation of the cam drum 38 brings a cam projection 42 into engagement with the cam follower surface 56 and causes the coupling member 50 to move downward.
- the coupling member 50 then closes movable contact 52 after opening movable contact 54.
- the movable contacts 52 and 54 each have spaced parallel leg portions 30' and 32' which are similar to those of FIG. 1, but are not bifurcated. These leg portions 30 and 32' engage fixed contacts 34 and 36 provided as metal strips coated on the surface of the circuit board 22. These metal strips may be provided with gold plating in the contact areas since such strips are usually made of copper, in order to improve their electrical characteristics. It should also be noted that while the movable contacts 52 and 54, and their spring mounting portions are electrically connected together and not insulated from each other like the embodiment of FIG. 1, the two movable contacts may be insulated from each other by fastening the leaf springs with separate solder connections rather than the common rivet 24 of FIG. 1.
- movable contacts are shown as shorting switches for interconnecting the two fixed contacts 34 and 36 as shown in FIG. 4, they may also be used to electrically connect a single fixed contact to a terminal strip connect to,the fixed end of the leaf spring.
- another common actuator such as a sliding cam actuator mechanism, can be employed rather than the rotary cam drum 38.
