Switching device for use in steering wheel of car, has three-dimensional molded interconnect device arranged between rotating actuating elements, where molded interconnect device carries printed circuits

摘要

The device (3) has two rotating actuating elements (9, 11) to be manipulated by a user, where each actuating element includes two electrical contacts mounted on an axle (13). A three-dimensional molded interconnect device (MID) (15) is arranged between the actuating elements so as to have faces (17, 19) facing the actuating elements. The MID carries printed circuits (21, 23) having electrical contact elements (25) cooperating with the electrical contacts of the actuating elements to generate information relating to a rotational movement of one of the actuating elements relative to the MID.
