A signal generator, in particular opening switch, for a vehicle door or flap, including an actuator, in particular an actuator which can be manually actuated and/or gripped by an operating person, furthermore including a plug housing () with a switch () which is received therein or arranged thereon and which has electrical contacts () which form part of a plug connection, and including an actuator housing () with the actuator (), the actuator being mounted movably on the actuator housing () and acting on the switch (), the actuator housing () and the plug housing () being positionally fixed relative to one another, wherein the electrical contacts () are electrically connected to the switch () by plugged-in conductors.

Signal generator for a vehicle door

An injection-molded component having a casing body of plastics material and a core which is made of a core material, in particular of a metal, which is at least partially received within the casing body and is at least partially insert-molded. The injection-molded component may in particular serve as a joint part of a joint. As a result of the preferably metallic core, the injection-molded component, despite comparatively small dimensioning, is capable of being comparatively highly stressed. By virtue of the casing body of plastics material, a minor actuation noise may be implemented for the joint, even without complex lubrication.
