Patent number: 5770825Abstract: In a switch device, a metal stamping has a first group of connector terminals arranged in one line among plural lines of arranged connector terminals and is constructed by one metal stamping together with a wiring pattern. The metal stamping is subjected to an insert molding process to form an insert molding. A second group of connector terminals, arranged in another line, among the connector terminals arranged in plural lines, are formed from parts of metal pieces which are separate from the metal stamping. The second group of connector terminals are press-fitted in the insert molding. In the switch device, the manufacture of the metal stamping requires minimal bending steps, and the manufacture can be achieved with the use of a simple stamping metal mold.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1996Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Kiyotaka Yamaguchi, Hiroyuki Kuroda, Kazuya Yoshikawa
