Switch

摘要

This invention provides a switch including a housing, a plunger that slides in a press direction or a return direction with respect to the housing, a return spring that biases the plunger in the return direction and is compressed by a slide of the plunger in the press direction, a plurality of terminals that are brought into a conductive state according to a predetermined position of the plunger, and a terminal contact spring that makes contact with the terminals so as to bring the terminals into a conductive state by the slide of the plunger in the press direction. The terminal contact spring is disposed so as to be compressed according to the slide of the plunger in the press direction under a contact state of making contact with the terminals.

主权项

1. A switch comprising:
a housing; a plunger adapted to slide in a press direction or a return direction with respect to the housing; a plurality of terminals adapted to be brought into a conductive state according to a predetermined position of the plunger; and two springs, one being a return spring adapted to bias the plunger in the return direction and to be compressed by a slide of the plunger in the press direction, and the other being a terminal contact spring adapted to make contact with the terminals so as to bring the terminals into a conductive state by the slide of the plunger in the press direction; wherein the terminal contact spring is disposed so as to be compressed according to the slide of the plunger in the press direction under a contact state in which the terminal contact spring makes contact with the terminals, wherein an end portion on the return direction side of the terminal contact spring is provided with an engagement portion adapted to engage the terminal contact spring with the plunger in a circumferential direction, and the plunger is provided with an engagement allowable portion adapted to engage with the engagement portion, wherein an end portion on the press direction side of a wire, which constitutes the terminal contact spring, is disposed at a position so as to avoid contact with the terminals in a circumferential direction of the terminal contact spring, and wherein the engagement portion of the terminal contact spring is fixed under pressure to the plunger by the end portion on the return direction side of the return spring.
