  • Double pole limit switch having an actuator as a pole
    Patent number: 6198444
    Abstract: A double pole limit switch (340) includes an insulator (410), a conductive spring element (420), and a conductive element (430). The conductive spring element is attached to the insulator for providing spring coupling between a substrate (210) and the insulator, and has a first electrical contact (355) and a conductive substrate attachment portion (425). The conductive element is attached to the insulator and has a second electrical contact (350) and a conductive actuator feature (435). The first and second electrical contacts are moved into a plane of the conductive substrate attachment portion by application of opposing forces to the conductive actuator feature and the conductive substrate attachment portion.
