Abstract: An electromagnetic energy converter for a remote switch. The energy converter has an electrical coil and magnetic components, which comprise at least one permanent magnet and at least one ferromagnetic element. The permanent magnet and/or the ferromagnetic element are each movable between two extreme positions, where the movement of the permanent magnet and/or of the ferromagnetic element between the extreme positions leads to a directional reversal of a magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit. The magnetic flux is enclosed at least in part by the coil. At least one of the extreme positions is configured as a contactless extreme position at which at least two of the magnet components do not contact.
