Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0261489A2] An electric switch whose switching mechanism has at least one fixed contact and at least one movable contact interacting therewith must be waterproof for specific applications. Sealing is easier if there are fewer points which have to be sealed. A particularly advantageous solution is achieved according to the invention by the switch housing being produced as one piece and having at most two, but particularly only a single assembly opening, which can be closed by means of a base or the like holding the switching mechanism. From the assembly point of view, it is particularly advantageous if the base is retained by a force-fit and/or positive lock and the interior of the housing is closed in a sealed manner to the atmosphere by means of at least one sealing element connected between the base and the switch housing. In the case of a switch with a ram passing through to the outside, the latter is expediently sealed with respect to the housing by means of an elastic collar or the like. <IMAGE>
