Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0795885A2] The switch is enclosed in a housing (11) having a conductive underpart (14) with an insulating cover (15) whose inside face (22) carries one countercontact (21) for the switching element (12). The other countercontact (24) is formed by the underpart itself. The cover carries one captive electrode (34) connected electrically to the first countercontact, and another captive electrode (41) which is connected to the underpart when the cover is fastened to it. The moving contact (18) is retracted from the first countercontact by movement of the spring disc (16) and bimetallic snap disc (19).
