Abstract: An electric SMD type switching element has a body incorporating the switching element, at least two contact surfaces, which are provided on the underside of the body for mounting an SMD, and an actuating element provided on the side opposing the underside, which is movably connected to the body as a moving portion in keeping with the longitudinal axis of the switching element. Here, an electrically conducting connection is created between the contacts via a switching contact, which can be closed by the movement of the actuating element relative to the switching contact. The body has a lower section featuring the two contact surfaces and the switching contact, and an upper section incorporating the actuating element.

Abstract: A flush-mounted switch, in particular a door-opener switch, for mounting on a fastening surface, has a tubular housing and a flange which protrudes over the cover and an axially moveable button for actuating a switching member connected to the housing. The button is held in its rest position by a restoring force and can be pushed in counter to the action of this restoring force. A fastening ring affixes the door-opener switch on the fastening surface. The flange of the housing covers the fastening ring. A support ring is provided by way of which the button is lockable to the fastening ring.

Abstract: A pushbutton comprises a cap, a housing with an interior space, a reset element for connecting the cap to the housing, and an electrical switch element. The cap is able to move from a rest position to a switch position relative to the electrical switch element so that the electric switch element, which is disposed inside the housing, can be actuated. The reset element returns the cap to the rest position after actuation. The reset element comprises a first spring means and a second spring means, wherein the first spring means is offset relative to the second spring means at least in the direction of the actuation axis of the cap.
