Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4418707A1] The purpose of the invention is to produce a space-saving toggle switch which can be assembled automatically and is equipped as a microswitch. This is achieved by designing the microswitch housing in two asymmetrically divided halves, the interface between which runs along the edge of one of the large side faces. This creates a relatively large assembly window, and, owing to the reduced number of undercuts in the components, an advantageous assembly direction. In addition, the switch can be readily adapted for different applications with minor changes to the machine-assembled components.
