Abstract
The invention relates to a Microswitch connector (), having an insulating housing () with a contact chamber () with an insertion opening () and a contact switch spring () arranged in the contact chamber (). The housing () has an electrically conductive stop () on a side of the contact chamber () remote from the insertion opening () for making a first external electrical connection. The contact switch spring () has a spring bend connecting a fixed leg () to a switch leg (). The fixed leg () is fixed in the housing () outside the insertion path of the plug-in contact with a connection end () for making a second external electrical connection, and the switch leg () extends obliquely into the insertion path in the direction of the stop () and pivotal resiliently relative to the fixed leg () with a free end () pre-tensioned to rest against the stop ().
