Electric four-way switch

摘要

The electric four-way switch is particularly for controlling one or more electric modules which are adjustable in several directions. An electric circuit board (3) is fixed in a housing. The circuit board (PCB) (3) has several switch contact elements to realise the different switch functions. The contact elements are influenced by a transmission device which is in connection with an actuator member movable in four directions. The switch contact elements are formed as several U-shaped leaf springs (5,6) held on a carrier part (7). These are fixed at one end in a hole (11) in the PCB (3) and are connected to its conductive tracks such that each two combined leaf springs (5,6) are combined into a switch contact unit. The inner contact surfaces (12) of the free ends of the outer leaf springs (5) are brought into contact with the outer contact surfaces (13) of the free ends of the inner springs (6) under the influence of the transmission device.
