Abstract:
1. A method of mounting a diode unit including at least one diode and a pair of terminals on a switch having an actuate-able key and a switch body with at least two terminal points, comprising: positioning the diode unit on an exposed end of the key wherein the exposed end of the key comprises a peripheral wall surrounding a recess, the diode unit is arranged within the recess, the diode unit terminals extending through openings or slits formed in said peripheral wall, and surface parts of the diode unit engage with corresponding surface parts of the switch body to prevent the diode unit from movement in relation to the switch body in a predefined plane, extending the diode unit terminals in a direction transverse to said plane, and connecting the diode unit terminals to the terminal points of the switch body to prevent movement of the diode unit in relation to the switch body transversely to said plane.
