Claim:
1. A switch housing for capacitive switches, having: an outer contact surface, and flat electrode structures which are arranged on the inside in a position opposite the outer contact surface and which are placed by two-component injection molding in recessed regions of a housing body injected from a first, electrically non-conductive plastic component by a second, electrically conductive plastic component, wherein the flat electrode structures have recessed windows and the outer contact surface is translucent opposite the recessed windows, wherein the flat electrode structures are configured with integrally formed contact tags which are guided outside the recessed regions of the housing body to a contacting block formed integrally on the inside of the housing body, wherein luminous elements illuminate symbols arranged on the outer contact surface of the switch housing through the recessed windows of the electrode structures and through thinned wall regions of the switch housing, the thinned wall regions having a reduced wall thickness, wherein the thinned wall regions are free of openings and have a thickness allowing light from the luminous elements to pass therethrough while light is prevented from passing through the remainder of the housing body.
