A carrier for electrical and/or electronic components is provided, in particular, a printed circuit board, having a broadside for accommodating electrical conductor tracks, and having a narrow side. At least one electrically conductive contact area is provided on the carrier, the contact area, in particular, being used as a fixed contact for an electrical switch. The contact area is arranged on the narrow side.

A switching assembly can include a lever arm that is magnetically attached to at least a portion of a base plate. A contact may be positioned in a spaced apart and above one end of the lever arm. Alternatively, the contact may be included in the base plate. Another switching assembly can include a movable element adapted to electrically connect with a contact in the switch assembly and a guide a guide having a geometry that directs the element along a first travel path to the contact and a second travel path away from the contact. A geometry of the guide is based on a first displacement curve that is associated with the first travel path and on a second displacement curve that is associated with the second travel path.

The invention relates to a monitor device for monitoring the closed or open state of an article, the monitor device being in the form of an electronic circuit comprising a zip closure system comprising two strips, each having fastened thereto a row of elements, referred to as teeth (11, . . . , 14, 20, . . . , 25), which elements are made of electrically conductive material. A slider (3) is mounted to slide along the strips and is configured, in one direction, to cause the teeth of one row to mesh with the teeth of the other row, and in the other direction, to separate the teeth. A detector-and-signaling device (4) is connected firstly to at least one of the teeth, referred to as a first terminal (21), and secondly to at least one of the other teeth, referred to as a second terminal (24). The detector-and-signaling device is configured to detect the state of electrical continuity between the first and second terminals (21, 24), and to issue a signal as a function of said detected continuity state. The first terminal (21) and the second terminal (24) are spaced apart from each other by at least one tooth (22, 23), said at least one tooth having no electrical connection with said terminals when the teeth of the two rows are in the separated state.

A high load switch for a vehicle includes a case having an opening formed at an upper side of the case; a first contact unit disposed at a lower side in the case; a second contact unit disposed at a lower side in the case and disposed directly above the first contact unit; and a contactor having one end fixed to one side in the case, and the other end disposed between the first contact unit and the second contact unit, in which a portion of the contactor between the one end and the other end is continuously formed, and the contactor includes a pusher unit formed by being bent upward so that an intermediate portion thereof penetrates the opening and protrudes, and a reinforcement bead formed on a surface of the contactor, thereby preventing deformation in the contactor and enhancing durability.
