Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0732714A2] The speed of a hand held electrical tool is regulated by a switch unit that is built into the hand grip. The switch module has a housing of plastic Ä2Ü and a push button actuator connects with a pin Ä4Ü and this operates to turn the motor on and can be adjusted to vary the speed. The speed control is provided by an electronic control module Ä26Ü that is connected to a power semiconductor Ä28Ü regulating the current supplied to the motor. The power semiconductor is in contact with a carrier Ä31Ü and this connects via an aperture Ä33Ü in the housing with a heat sink plate Ä34Ü mounted on the side of the housing. The plate is located on mounting studs Ä35Ü.
