Abstract
A fixer-terminal structure rigidly fixed to the outside of the casing of a switch adapted for automotive power window. The front ends of the fixed terminals are bent through an angle of at least 90.degree. such that their corners are curved, so that any lead wire which comes into contact with the front ends of the terminals will not break.
Claims2
A fixed terminal structure for connecting lead wires to contacts mounted on an outer planar surface of a switch casing, comprising fixed terminals, all of which have a mounting portion mounted flat on the casing and an end portion formed in an L-shape extending upright from the mounting portion and ending in a curved tip spaced above said surface, wherein the curve of each said curved tip faces in a laterally outward direction from said surface of said casing and the end of each said curved tip extends in a laterally inward direction substantially parallel to the plane of said surface of said casing, whereby a lead wire external to said casing is protected from being cut by said curve and said parallel extending end of said curved tip.
