An electrical switch, in particular in the form of a microswitch and/or snap-action switch, having a housing which comprises a base and a cover, having a contact system, which comprises a movable switching contact and at least one stationary contact, the cover having a first operating member for switching of the contact system and a second operating member for applying a direct force to the movable switching contact, both operating members being moved by movement of the cover, and said electrical switch further having a spring element which interacts with the first operating member for switching the switching contact system, wherein the cover is mounted on the base such that the cover can move the switching contact, and wherein the entirety of the first operating member and the entirety of the second operating member are integrally formed as parts of the cover.
An electrical switch comprising:
- a housing that includes a base and a cover mounted on said base in a movable manner, at least a first integral portion of said cover defining a first operating member and at least a second integral portion of said cover defining a second operating member for activating the switch between at least two positions, wherein the entirety of the first operating member and the entirety of the second operating member are both integrally formed along an internal contour of the cover;
- and
- a contact system arranged within said housing and comprising a moveable switching contact and at least one stationary contact, wherein said contacts are spaced from one another in one of said at least two positions and contact one another in the other one of said at least two positions.
