Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19511877A1] A contact unit (1), especially for electric switches, comprises a stamped grid (2) of electrically conductive material in which the stamped tracks (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) representing the electric current paths are joined by webs (5) and have contacts (3) projecting from the stamped plane, in which the space between the stamped tracks (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) is smaller than the length of a contact (3). To obtain a compact contact unit (1), the contacts (3) are in one piece with the stamped grid (2) and the stamped grid (2) has at least one lug (15) in the longitudinal direction of the contacts (3) making it possible to bend the contacts (3) from the stamped plane of the grid (2) and space the contacts (3) in a predetermined grid pattern.
