Multi-way switch i.e. mechanically actuated multi-way switch, for providing e.g. cursor functionality for car radio, in motor car, has switching contacts selectively closed by tilting movement of actuating element in two layers

摘要

The switch (1) has two pairs of switching contacts (6a, 6b) selectively closed at a planar extending printed circuit board (PCB) (4) by tilting movement of an actuating element (2) in two layers (A, B) transverse to planar surfaces (4a, 4b) of the PCB. The switching contacts are formed on the PCB allowed to form surface section of the planar surfaces, and a contact element is arranged in the actuating element. Spring-elastic elements (10a, 10b) are arranged at a support body (3), and the actuating element includes projection parts (2b, 2c).
