Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19511878A1] An electric touch contact (9) with a housing (11) enclosing switch components has at least one automatically reset off-centre key (10) with a pin (29) acting on the switch components. To make the touch contact (9) very convenient to use, the key (10) has actuating ridge (30) running approximately parallel to the axis of the key spindle (24) and having two opposite actuation surfaces (32, 33), in which the actuating pressure (44) exerted on the side of the key spindle (24) parallel to the housing (11) acts on the key (10) in the same direction as actuating pressure (42) applied on the opposite side perpendicularly to the housing (11).
