During installation, the lower surface of the moving contact mounting groove 1 is connected to the push rod of the DC contactor, and the moving contact is mounted above the moving contact mounting groove 1, while the upper end of the switch top rod 3 cooperates with the rocker of the rocker-type microswitch. In this embodiment, a spring 4 is sleeved on the outer surface of the switch top rod 3, so that when the switch top rod 3 moves upward driven by the moving contact, the spring 4 will contact the rocker of the microswitch, and because the spring 4 itself has a certain elastic compression deformation, the soft contact effect of the spring 4 and the rocker of the microswitch can be effectively achieved, and through the elastic force of the spring 4 itself, the upper end of the spring 4 always has an upward force after contacting the rocker, thereby further ensuring the stability of the contact.

The annular groove 5 can realize the limit fixation of the lower end position of the spring 4, thereby effectively preventing the spring 4 from being separated from the switch top rod 3 during use. Then the reliability of the contact between the spring 4 and the micro switch rocker is guaranteed.

By setting the connector 2 as two positioning blocks 21 and three connecting blocks 22, and the adjacent positioning blocks 21 and the connecting blocks 22 are connected by the vertical plates 23, firstly, a positioning groove 24 is surrounded by the two positioning blocks 21 and the vertical plates 23 on both sides thereof, so that a certain positioning effect can be achieved during installation and use, thereby avoiding the cumulative error during assembly. In addition, by setting the vertical plates 23, the positioning blocks 21 and the connecting blocks 22 are connected on both sides thereof, respectively, so that the entire connector 2 is cut into a plurality of blocks, so that the entire connector 2 can be strengthened in the vertical direction to increase the tensile lifting force, so as to prevent the connector 2 from deforming after long-term use.
