Pushbutton switch free from contact bounce - has Contact separating member mounted for limited movement in recess in button stem

摘要

The pushbutton switch consists of a case with two contact springs obliquely inserted into it, whose rounded ends are springily pressed against each other when the button is operated. When the button is not operated, an insulating element separates the contact springs. The stem (4) of the button has a recess in the spring region in which the insulating element (7) is guided between guides (8) and between two end positions. The free movement path of the insulating element is shorter than that of the button. When the button is in its top position, the insulating element (7) is between the springs (2), and rests in its guide (8) in its lower position.
