Abstract
A push button for an inductive value input keyboard having a push-button socket, a push-button head guided in the push-button socket, a compression spring which acts between the push-button socket and the push-button head, a stop which limits the stroke of the push button in the non-actuated state, and a rod-shaped iron core fastened to the push-button head for interaction with an induction coil formed by conductor paths upon a printed circuit board on which the push button is arranged. A sleeve is molded at the push-button head and has a non-cylindrical aperture therethrough and is elastically deformable transverse to its axis within which the iron core is clamped.
