Abstract
The invention relates to a method for production of a low current switch module, comprising the following steps: precutting a fine conductor path of several conducting circuits connected by connector tracks in the same sheet, positioning the contact relay and other optional electronic components on the precut conductor path, electrically and mechanically connecting said contact relay and the optional electronic components on the conductor track, encapsulating the unit comprising the conductor path, contact relay, the optional components, the pins and electrical connectors thereof and cutting certain connector tracks such as to separate said circuits.
Claims9
