Abstract: A switching unit (200) including a membrane (202), a housing (210), at least one rotary switch (204), at least one knob (216), and a sealing member (214). The membrane (202) defines a first opening (230) adapted to receive a portion of at least one rotary switch (204). The housing (210) defines a second opening adapted to be aligned with the first opening (230) to receive the portion of the at least one rotary switch (204). The at least one rotary switch (204) is disposed in the housing (210). The at least one knob (216) mounted on the at least one rotary switch (204). The sealing member (214) is positioned on the housing (210) in the second opening (231), around the at least one rotary switch (204), between the at least one knob (216) and the housing (210).

Abstract: A present disclosure relates to a switch assembly for a vehicle. The switch assembly comprises a housing, a carrier assembly, a base assembly, and an actuator. The carrier assembly is positioned at a top end of the housing. A knob has a protrusion extending downwardly through an opening of an intermediate member. A carrier has a first cutout to accommodate the protrusion of the knob and a second cut-out to movably accommodate a first biasing member. The base assembly comprises a base member and a microswitch supported by the base member and connected to terminals placed within the base member. The actuator is defined with a cam profile configured to allow a displaceable member to displace on the cam profile between a first end and a second end of the actuator.
