Electrical switching device, including: a switch housing (2a, 2b) comprising a first chamber (2a) and a second chamber (2b) separated by a partition, an electrical switch
assembly (5, 6a, 6b) arranged in the second chamber (2b), a control knob (3a, 3b) located in the first chamber (2a), and a
user engagement section (3a) and a
plunger (3b) configured to extend from the
user engagement section (3a) in the first chamber (2a) through an opening in the partition separating the first chamber (2a) and the second chamber (2b) when the control knob (3a, 3b) is attached, wherein the
plunger (3b) is configured to movably interact with the electrical switch
assembly (5, 6a, 6b) to open and close an electrical switch of the electrical switch
assembly (5, 6a, 6b) in response to a movement of the control knob (3a, 3b) by a user actuation between several operating positions, and a sealing element (4a, 4b) comprising a base section (4b) for fixing the sealing element (4a, 4b) to the switch housing (2a, 2b) and a tubular section (4a) extending from the base section (4b) and designed to surround the
plunger (3b) in order to reduce the ingress of liquid from the first chamber (2a) through the opening in the partition into the second chamber (2b), The control knob (3a, 3b) comprises a
user engagement section (3a) to allow the user's finger to rock the rocker switch between several operating positions, and a plunger (3b) extending from a spindle (3f) of the user engagement section (3a). A contact spring (3c) is arranged between a lower surface of the spindle (3f) and the plunger (3b), while a return spring (3d) is also arranged between the user engagement section (3a) and the first chamber (2a) or the sealing element (4a, 4b) to enable a pre-tensioned instantaneous movement of the control knob (3a, 3b) between several operating positions. The spindle (3f) and the user engagement section (3a) are formed in one piece. Strip-shaped holes are formed on two sides of the user engagement section (3a).
