Abstract
A pressure-sensitive electrical switch is provided with a diaphragm which can be displaced against the action of a spring and which defines together with a supporting housing a pressure chamber. There is at least one outwardly projecting connection contact in the form of a contact pin. For mechanically mounting the housing of the switch there is provided at least one latching element comprising a latch for engagement in a receiving opening of a supporting board or print board or the like, the electric contact with the conductor paths of the printed circuit board being established by an electrically conductive pressure spring superimposed upon the pin-like outwardly projecting connection contact which spring in the latched position of the at least one latching element is urged into contact with the associated electric conductor path. Accordingly, mounting of such a pressure-sensitive switch on the supporting board or print board can be effected without shocks and without the application of important forces so that the prior adjustment of the system is rendered possible.
