Abstract:
A switch device capable of safely opening or short-circuiting an electrical circuit in response to an abnormality such as wetting with water or liquid leaking from a battery is provided. The device includes first and second conductors connected to an external circuit, and a reaction part including an insulating material which changes state on contact with a liquid, the first and second conductors being electrically connected or disconnected by the insulating material changing state on contact with the liquid.

Claim (Index 20):
The switch device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a housing having a plurality of guiding inlets in a lattice pattern through which the liquid enters,\n wherein the insulating material and conductive particles are provided within the housing, wherein the first and second conductors are provided in separation within the housing, wherein the insulating material defines an arrangement of the conductive particles in a lattice pattern in accordance with the guiding inlets opening through the housing, the conductive particles electrically connecting the first and second conductors, and wherein the first and second conductors are in contact via the conductive particles and are to be electrically disconnected by the insulating material expanding, contracting, or dissolving on contact with the liquid entering through the guiding inlets, the conductive particles agglomerating at a position corresponding to one or more of the guiding inlets through which the liquid enters, and movement of the conductive particles being restricted by a securing part provided within the housing.
