Switching device

Abstract

To provide a switch gear which enables improvement of the yield of a component.SOLUTION: A switch gear 8 includes a movable terminal 18, a first fixed terminal 19, and a second fixed terminal 20. The switch gear 8 includes: a case 11 having an opening 10; and a cover 12 which closes the opening 10. The cover 12 is formed as a component different from the first fixed terminal 19. When the opening 10 is closed by the cover 12, the first fixed terminal 19 is positioned in the case 11 by the cover 12.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Claims

1. A switch device comprising: a movable terminal having a snap-action mechanism in which a spring portion reverses in response to user operation on an operating unit; a first fixed terminal to which the movable terminal contacts when the spring portion is not reversed; and a second fixed terminal to which the movable terminal contacts when the spring portion reverses when the operating unit reaches a predetermined operating amount, A case having an opening, The opening is closed, and the first fixed terminal is provided with a separate cover. When the opening is closed by the cover, the first fixed terminal is positioned by the cover inside the case. The cover, which is assembled to the case to close the opening, is provided with a temporary fastening portion for temporarily securing it to the case, The temporary fastening portion has a plurality of crushing ribs formed on the side surface of the engagement portion of the case, The switch device comprises a first crushing rib that serves as a reference in a first direction of the case and a second crushing rib that serves as a reference in a second direction of the case.

2. A switch device comprising: a movable terminal having a snap-action mechanism in which a spring portion reverses in response to user operation on an operating unit; a first fixed terminal to which the movable terminal contacts when the spring portion is not reversed; and a second fixed terminal to which the movable terminal contacts when the spring portion reverses when the operating unit reaches a predetermined operating amount, A case having an opening, The opening is closed, and the first fixed terminal is provided with a separate cover. When the opening is closed by the cover, the first fixed terminal is positioned by the cover inside the case. The cover is a switch device having a deformable rib on its back surface that presses down on the first fixing terminal from above when temporarily fixed to the case.

3. A switch device comprising: a movable terminal having a snap-action mechanism in which a spring portion reverses in response to user operation on an operating unit; a first fixed terminal to which the movable terminal contacts when the spring portion is not reversed; and a second fixed terminal to which the movable terminal contacts when the spring portion reverses when the operating unit reaches a predetermined operating amount, A case having an opening, The opening is closed, and the first fixed terminal is provided with a separate cover. When the opening is closed by the cover, the first fixed terminal is positioned by the cover inside the case. The first fixed terminal has a first fixed terminal body that contacts the movable terminal, and a first fixed terminal connection pin formed at the end of the first fixed terminal body and mounted on a circuit board. The connection pins for the first fixed terminal are pre-bent in a direction aligned with the mounting surface of the circuit board before the first fixed terminal is assembled to the case.
