Abstract: A switch assembly comprising a chassis supporting a PCBA which has a distal surface comprising at least a first, a second, and a third electrical contacts, a ring having a ratchet profile, and a first arm and a second arm. The chassis moves axially relative to the ring during a first switch operation mode. The ring rotates relative to the chassis during a second switch operation mode. An axial movement of the chassis towards the ring closes an electrical connection between the first electrical contact and the first arm. Further, the ratchet profile of the ring is located facing proximally towards the distal surface of the PCBA such that an actuator guided on the ratchet profile elastically deforms the second arm thereby alternately opening and closing an electrical connection between the second electrical contact and the third electrical contact via the second arm.
