Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0743663A1] The switch includes a rectangular insulating body (12) with a recess (22) which houses a fix contact (34) with a connection extremity (32). The body lateral surface presents a second contact (28) which can be plugged in a suitable connector on a pcb. The second contact presents an extension (34) which emerges on the other side of the body wall. The body recess receives an actuating component (36) which has a rectangular shape with a curved surface placed above the fix contact. When pushed, the component establishes an electrical connection between the two contacts.
