Abstract
There is provided a fixed contact structure, including: a substrate; at least one fixed contact which is disposed on the substrate; a movable contact which slides on the corresponding fixed contact in a sliding direction; a resist layer which is consecutively disposed on the substrate outside both ends of the fixed contact with respect to the sliding direction; and gaps which are formed outside both ends of the fixed contact with respect to a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction.
Claims5
A fixed contact structure, comprising:
- a substrate;
- fixed contacts, each of which is monolithic and located on the substrate;
- movable contacts, each of which is configured to slide on a corresponding one of the fixed contacts in a sliding direction, each of the moveable contacts and each corresponding one of the fixed contacts being arranged in a one-to-one relationship, wherein a conductive contact is formed between each moveable contact and the corresponding one of the fixed contacts when placed in contact;
- and
- a resist layer on the substrate at opposing ends of the fixed contacts with respect to the sliding direction,
- wherein the resist layer is immediately adjacent to the opposing ends of the fixed contacts, and gaps are provided at opposing lateral sides of each of the fixed contacts in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction, and
- wherein a height of a surface of the fixed contact is substantially equal to a height of a surface of the resist layer as measured from a common place of reference.
