Steering column switch for a vehicle

Abstract

Steering column switch () for a vehicle, in particular for a utility vehicle, wherein the steering column switch () has a housing (), an actuating device which can be coupled to an operating element and has at least one actuating element (), a magnet () and a magnetic sensor (), wherein an actuating movement of an actuating element () in a first actuating direction (R, R, R) can bring about a relative movement between the magnet () and the magnetic sensor () in a first direction of movement and an actuating movement of an actuating element () of the actuating device in a second actuating direction (R, R, R) can bring about a relative movement between the magnet () and the magnetic sensor () in a second direction of movement different from the first direction of movement, wherein the magnetic sensor () is set up to detect the relative movement between the magnet () and the magnetic sensor () in each case in the first direction of movement (R, R, R) and in the second direction of movement (R, R, R) and, depending on the detected relative movement in the first direction of movement, to generate a first switching signal and, depending on the detected relative movement in the second direction of movement, a second switching signal.
