Rocker switch with contacts in insulating housing bottom - has slit in bending spring contact, forming two shanks, one shank end carrying contact

摘要

The housing bottom also contains outwards protruding terminal tags. An insulating switch rocket pivots about an axis in the housing and has an inside protruding switching finger for moving a bending spring contact in its made and broken positions. The contact closing is the result of the spring force of this contact. The rocker movement is limited by housing stops. The bending spring contact (4) has a longitudinal slit forming two shanks (4c, 4d) at least over its part. The end of the shank (4c) supports the contacting position (4a) for cooperation with the stationary contact (2). The other shank (4d) forces in this position the first shank from the switching finger (5a) by its own spring force.
