Abstract
The disclosure relates to an anti-theft device notably for a motor vehicle. The anti-theft device includes an electrical switch for the detection of key insertion into the anti-theft device. A pusher also included in the anti-theft device slides in both the proximal and distal directions parallel to a key insertion axis. The pusher activates the switch by using an elastic force that tends to move the pusher back against a stop, which holds the pusher in a retracted rest position when the key is withdrawn.
