Microswitch with non-enlarging, sealed electrical connections

摘要

A microswitch with a housing and base from which connection contacts project which are adapted to be sealed with respect to the housing by means of a sealing compound and which include receptors for connecting electrical lines thereto. The microswitch is usable under different environmental conditions and with as many identical structural components as possible without causing any change in the overall size. For receiving the sealing compound, the base is provided with a troughlike recess which is surrounded by walls on at least three sides, with the connection contacts each having a separating line extending within the recess and with each being cuttable to length at this separating line in such a way that the remaining residual parts still end within the recess. The remaining residual parts are also provided with receptors for connecting electrical lines thereto.
