A carrier for electrical and/or electronic components is provided, in particular, a printed circuit board, having a broadside for accommodating electrical conductor tracks, and having a narrow side. At least one electrically conductive contact area is provided on the carrier, the contact area, in particular, being used as a fixed contact for an electrical switch. The contact area is arranged on the narrow side.

Carrier and electric switch having said carrier

The invention relates to a switching-operation arrangement for a motor vehicle, having a movable actuating surface. The actuating surface has an extent along a first axis and a second axis, which are located perpendicularly to one another. The actuating surface interacts with a displacement means such that the actuating surface can be moved linearly, in the direction of a third axis (z), by at least one distance from a starting position into an actuating position, the third axis (z) being located perpendicularly to the first and second axes. The actuating position is in the form of a switching position and acts with switching action on a switching element or a sensor. The displacement means includes a guide means for guiding the actuating surface along the first axis and at least one braced-in elastic element for guiding the actuating surface along the second axis.

The invention relates to a lock, in particular for a household appliance such as a tumble drier, a washing machine, a dishwasher or the like, having a movable retaining element, which is configured in particular in the manner of a slide. The retaining element interacts with a closure hook located on a closure element, such as a door, a cover, a flap or the like of the household appliance, which can be moved between an open and a closed state. The closure hook, in the closed state of the closure element, engages into the retaining element. Here, the closure hook is held by the retaining element in contact against a blocking face in such a way that a movement of the closure element into the open state is blocked. The blocking face is designed so as to be pivotable in the manner of a positive opener.
