The member comprises: a support structure presenting a control zone, said control zone having a through hole; a non-conductive elastic covering covering a control face of the control zone, at least in register with the through hole; and a touch-sensitive detector at least partially in register with the through hole and mounted on or in the vicinity of the face of the control zone that is opposite from its control face; the elastic covering having a rest position in which the finger of an operator contacting the free surface of the elastic covering lies outside the touch detection space of the detector, and a deformed position in which the finger of the operator in contact with the free surface of the elastic covering lies within the touch detection space of the detector. According to the invention, in the rest position, the elastic covering is spaced apart from the touch-sensitive detector, and in the deformed position, the elastic covering is in contact with the touch-sensitive detector.

Capacitive type control member having a touch sensitive detector

This assembly comprises a first electrical connection part mounted on a first piece of equipment, the first piece of equipment comprising a first guiding and positioning member for the first electrical connection part, a second piece of equipment comprising a second guiding and positioning member complementary to the first one and permitting relative guiding and positioning of the second piece of equipment on the first one, and a second electrical connection part complementary to the first one, mounted on the second piece of equipment. The second electrical connection part is mounted on the piece of equipment with a clearance in one direction orthogonal to the assembly direction, and comprises a third guiding and positioning member complementary to the first one.

Equipment assembly for motor vehicle comprising improved electrical connection means

A control member of the capacitive type for controlling at least one functional member in particular of a motor vehicle, the control member including a rigid support structure, at least one capacitive touch-sensitive detection cell located on or close to one of the faces of the support structure, and at least one control operating zone located on or close to the other face of the support structure in registration with the capacitive touch-sensitive detection cell, wherein the control operating zone includes an elastically deformable part.

Switch with capacitive control member and pictogram

An electrical connection for a motor vehicle includes a first piece of equipment ( ), a second piece of equipment ( ) adapted to be assembled to the first piece, a first ( ) and a second ( ) complementary electrical connector part attached respectively to the first and second pieces of equipment, each of the pieces of equipment ( ) being provided respectively with a first ( ) and second ( ) guiding and positioning member, cooperating with the respective connector parts.
