Multi-position switch in motor vehicle has first contact element with one effective switch position, second with two in which 1 of 2 electrical resistances is activated with different values

摘要

The device has two contact elements with independent positions and is used to control several states. The first contact element has one effective switch position and the second has two in which one of two electrical resistances is activated with different resistance values. The second element positions are associated with states identifiable by the different resistance values. The device has two contact elements with independent positions and is used to control several states. The first contact element has one effective switch position and the second has two in which one of two electrical resistances is activated with different resistance values. The second element positions are associated with states identifiable by the different resistance values. The activated resistance is bridged when the first element is in its effective position. The overall resistance is available at a single output line. Each of the two states is associated with a further state derived from the previous state if the first contact element is not active.
