Abstract
An electrical switching element includes a housing, an armature moved by a coil arrangement, a contact arrangement switchable by the armature into at least two switching statuses, and a magnetic field sensor outputting a magnetic field-dependent switching signal representing the switching statuses. The armature, the contact arrangement, and the magnetic field sensor are arranged in the housing. The armature is arranged between the contact arrangement and the magnetic field sensor.
Claims19
An electrical switching element, comprising:
- a housing having a wall and a raised annular support both projecting into the housing in an extrusion direction, the wall forms a receptacle, the raised annular support is positioned around the wall;
- an armature moved by a coil arrangement;
- a contact arrangement switchable by the armature into at least two switching statuses;
- and
- a magnetic field sensor outputting a magnetic field-dependent switching signal representing the switching statuses, the armature, the contact arrangement, and the magnetic field sensor are arranged in the housing, the armature is arranged between the contact arrangement and the magnetic field sensor, the magnetic field sensor is arranged in a bush of the armature, the magnetic field sensor is accommodated in a sensor housing, the sensor housing is disposed in the receptacle and has a shape complementary to the receptacle.
