Abstract
The invention relates to a switch for a door, a flap or a door handle of a motor vehicle, having a base body with a receptacle; a first contact area and second contact area, both areas provided in the receptacle; a snap-action plate arranged in the receptacle having a curved region situated above the first contact area, and at least three support elements, with at least one support element contacting the second contact area, the curved region undergoing elastic deformation by operation of the snap-action plate, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the two contact areas and therefore generating a switching signal, with the second contact area, which is at a distance from the first contact area, extending at least in regions around the first contact area such that at least one support element touches the second contact area in every possible position of the snap-action plate within the receptacle.
