Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Kontaktfeder mit zwei Schaltkontakten an einer Leiterplatte .The invention relates to a contact spring with two Switch contacts on a circuit board.

Zur Vereinfachung der Herstellung wird eine einstückige Kontaktfeder aus einem Blechplättchen ausgestanzt, um eine Mittellinie umgebogen und über ein automatisches Greifwerkzeug über Anschlußbeine an der Leiterplatte montiert. Anschließend werden zwei Verbindungsbrücken zwischen je einem seitlichen und dem mittleren Anschlußbein so durchtrennt, daß sich zwei elektrisch voneinander isolierte Schaltkontakte ergeben, wobei die Betätigung des so hergestellten Schalters durch das Niederdrücken eines nach oben ragenden frei beweglichen Schenkels durch eine Taste oder dergleichen bewirkt wird.

Figure 00000001
To simplify production, a one-piece contact spring is punched out of a sheet metal plate, bent over a center line and mounted on the circuit board via connecting legs via an automatic gripping tool. Subsequently, two connecting bridges between each side and the central connecting leg are cut so that there are two electrically insulated switch contacts, the actuation of the switch thus produced being effected by the depression of an upwardly projecting freely movable leg by a button or the like.
