Abstract:
Operating mechanism (1), comprising a housing and a printed circuit board (6) disposed in said housing, said circuit board (6) having a switch part, a punched grid (7) with at least one punched grid plane (8) arranged parallel to the circuit board (6), wherein said punched grid is electrically connected to the circuit board (6) by means of first contact sections bent out from said punched grid plane (8), said punched grid plane also being connected to electric components (10, 11) connectable to said circuit board and/or the punched grid, wherein the housing has a first housing part (2) with a housing wall (21) running parallel to the circuit board (6) and to the punched grid plane (8), wherein at least one first electrical component (10) is fixable on an outer side (22) of the housing wall (21), wherein first connecting elements (12) and second connecting elements (13) of the at least one first electrical component (10) pass through openings (23, 24) of the housing wall (21), wherein the first connecting elements (12) are electrically connectable with second contact sections (19) of the punched grid (7) and the second connecting elements (13) are electrically connectable with discrete contact elements (14), said contact elements arranged on said circuit board (6) and projecting to said housing wall (21), wherein the second contact sections (19) of the punched grid (7) are high current connectors and the discrete contact elements (14) arranged on the circuit board are low current connectors.
