  • Publication number: 20230417087
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a module (100) for generating signals, in particular signals for opening vehicle doors or flaps. The module (100) includes: a housing (102) having a switch region (104); a switch (108), in particular a microswitch, which is connected, in particular releasably connected, to the switch region of the housing (102); and an actuating flap (120), which is pivotally connected to the housing (102). The actuating flap (120) is configured to be pivoted by a movement of an operating element, such as a door lever, between a first position and a second position in which the switch (108) is activated by the actuating flap (120).

  • Publication number: 20230420201
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a module (100) for generating signals, in particular signals for opening vehicle doors or flaps. The module (100) includes: a one-piece housing (102) having a plug region (106) and a switch region (104); at least one switch, in particular a microswitch (108), which is connected releasably to the switch region (104) of the housing; and electrical contacts (110, 112), which are releasably connectable to the at least one switch and extend from the switch region (104) at least partially into the plug region (106). The electrical contacts are configured in order to produce an electrical contact with an on-board plug for transmitting an electrical signal, wherein the housing (102) is preferably releasably connectable to a vehicle component, preferably an operator element housing, and particularly preferably a door lever housing.

  • Publication number: 20230420200
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a module (100) for generating signals, in particular signals for opening vehicle doors or flaps. The module (100) includes a housing (102) having a plug-in region (106) and a switch region (104); at least one switch (108), in particular a microswitch, which is connected releasably to the switch region (104) of the housing (102); and electrical contacts (110, 112), which are releasably connectable to the at least one switch (108) and extend from the switch region (104) at least partially into the plug-in region (106). The electrical contacts (110, 112) are configured so as to make electrical contact with an on-board plug for transmitting an electrical signal, wherein the electrical contacts (110, 112) each comprise a first end (116, 118) which, in the installed state, is biased against one of the contacts (126, 128) of the at least one switch (108).
