Abstract: A dual inline package switch assembly containing one or more separate electrical switches is disclosed which comprises an insulating housing consisting of a base and a cover to provide an interior space. The cover has at least one slit extending into the interior space in alignment with the switch. At least one actuating member is movably provided within the interior space and is formed integrally with an operating stub positioned in the slit for selectively braking and making an electrical connection between a pair of contacts fixed on the base in aligned and spaced relation. The slit has a center neck whose width is slightly smaller than the diameter of the operating stub for detenting movement of the actuating member. The actuating member side walls is positioned on housing base rails to maintain constant pressure between the actuating member conductive bridging strip and fixed pair of contacts.

Abstract: An electromagnetic relay is provided including a Hole integrated circuit disposed in a gap formed in a magnetic circuit including a yoke formed at its opposite end with turned portions, a core disposed between the turned portions, and an energizing coil surrounding the core. A permanent magnet is provided in the gap for providing a magnetic bias so as to increase the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field.

Abstract: A contactless digital key switch is provided which comprises a plurality of printed circuit substrates each having a predetermined number of magnetic sensor chips longitudinally arranged thereon in spaced relation, the printed circuit substrates disposed in the form of polygon prism with the magnetic sensor chips facing inwardly, an actuating key member having one or more permanent magnets longitudinally arranged therein in spaced relation and in coded form, a rotary member adapted to receive the actuating key member and rotate with the same within the polygon prism defined by the printed circuit substrates, and means drivingly connected to the rotary member for permitting rotation of the rotary member with a snap action and holding the rotary member in a position where the permanent magnets face to the corresponding magnetic sensor chips on one of the printed circuit substrates every time the rotary member is rotated by a predetermined angle, whereby a coded signal corresponding to the permanent magnets arra

Abstract: A miniature contactless switching unit is disclosed for use in various kinds of position sensors with a magneto-electro converter. The miniature contactless switching unit includes a molded block case in which a permanent magnet and the magneto-electro converter are oppositely disposed, and a screening member for screening magnetism, which operates in accordance with the movement of a moving member, whereby when the moving member is in a first position, the screening member is not disposed between the magnet and the magneto-electro converter to hold the output of the converter in a first switching state, while when the moving member is in a second position, the screening member is disposed between the magnet and the converter so as to prevent the magnetic flux from said magnet to the converter to hold the output of the converter in a second switching state.

Abstract: A miniature slide switch assembly in which a fixed base member, has a pair of opposite longitudinal side surface, molded out of any suitable insulating material. Each of the side surface is provided with a pair of recesses. At least two adjacent molded fixed contacts are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the base member. A movable casing member slidably rides on the base member in such a manner that it can slide in the direction of the array of the fixed contacts, each of opposite side surfaces of the movable casing member having a resilient detent bar. The resilient detent bar is provided with, at the top end thereof, a finger capable of being alternately snap fitted into the recesses, and an electrically conductive inversed U-shaped strip is accommodated in the cavity of the movable casing member.

Abstract: A miniature switch assembly comprising a base member having a plurality of parallel finned projections, a pair of contact members each having a plurality of contact terminals being fixed on both sides of the base member, respectively, a plurality of lever wheels being disposed between the adjacent finned projections, and a housing having a plurality of partition walls for accommodating the base member with the contact members and the lever wheels, wherein the lever wheels each having conductive plate perform the switching action in a manner that the conductive plate slides over the contact terminals. A locking member is also provided for locking the lever wheels. Preferably, a dust cover is provided for protecting the switch assembly from dust or mechanical injuries.
