Manually operated switch e.g. push-button, for integration in dashboard of motor vehicle, has operating element with operating surface to apply operation force to pivot lever around axis, and transmission section for transmission of force

摘要

The switch has a piezoelectric switching element (14) deformable in a direction (B) for generating an electrical signal. A direction (A) is defined perpendicular to an operating surface (16) of an operating element (15). The operation element is formed as a lever, which is pivotable around an axis (20) running perpendicular to the directions. The operating element includes the operating surface for applying operation force to pivot the lever around the axis, and a transmission section (18) for transmission of the operating force on the switching element in the direction (B).
