An electrical device assembly and method to attach an isolated single stud fuse assembly to an electrical device are disclosed. The electrical device assembly consists of multiple studs, one or more of which is replaced with the isolated single stud fuse. A conductive copper landing zone receives an electrically isolated steel stud. When the landing pad assembly is orbital riveted into a plastic housing of the electrical device, the stud is locked into the housing permanently. Electrical devices such as disconnect switches and power distribution modules, both of which include multiple studs, are good candidates for being adapted with the single stud fuse assembly.

A switch that more reliably prevents solvent permeation from the outside, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The switch includes a first molded resin molded integrally with a plurality of fixed contacts by insert molding, a movable member disposed above the first molded resin to bring the plurality of fixed contacts into and out of contact with each other, and a second molded resin molded so as to close a through hole of the first molded resin formed by a pin supporting the plurality of fixed contacts at a time of the insert molding.

The invention proposes a key module for a key of a keyboard. The key module includes a module base, a module cover that can be coupled with the module base and a key tappet for coupling a keycap that is translucent in at least one symbol section. The module base includes at least one through-hole between a bottom section of the key module and the module cover. The module cover includes a section that is translucent for the light from a light source. The light source is a color-changeable light source for backlighting the symbol section of the keycap. The translucent section of the module cover is aligned with the at least one through-hole when the module cover is coupled to the module base.
