Electrical switch with lateral operation and assembly comprising such a switch mounted on a plate

摘要

The invention proposes an electrical switch (10) that comprises:
- a support (14) bearing contacts (16);
- at least one elastically deformable release element (20) for establishing an electrical connection between two contacts (16);
- an actuation pusher (24) that is movable relative to the support (14) along an overall horizontal path in the plane of the plate (12) bearing electronic components; and
- a lever (26) that is mounted in a hinged manner relative to the support (14) about a horizontal axis (A) and which converts the horizontal actuation force exerted on the pusher (24) into a vertical release force applied to the release element (20), characterized in that the lever (26) is elastically deformable to allow a movement of the pusher (24) beyond the actuation position.
