An electrical device such as, for example, a battery-powered electrical switch is disclosed. The battery-powered wireless switch includes one or more mechanisms arranged and configured to provide simplified access for servicing (e.g., replacing) the batteries located within the wireless switch. In one embodiment, the wireless switch is arranged and configured so that the batteries may be accessed by reconfiguring the wireless switch from a first closed position to a second opened position to access the batteries. Thus arranged, removal of the wireless switch from a wall-box or a surface of a wall is not required, the user may only need to remove the wall-plate in order to reconfigure the wireless switch. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the wireless switch is pivoted from the first position to the second position to provide access to the batteries.

A coaxial switch includes a conductive housing defining a central bore and a front plane that is oriented transverse to the central bore, a switch assembly including a stationary contact including a stationary engagement end, a stationary coupling end opposite the stationary engagement end, a movable contact including a movable engagement end, a movable coupling end opposite the movable engagement end, and a planar conductor engagement region positioned adjacent to the movable engagement end, where the movable engagement end is positionable in an engaged position and a disengaged position, and a dielectric front pad positioned between the conductive housing and the movable contact, where the dielectric front pad defines a central aperture through which the planar conductor engagement region has an unobstructed line of sight with the front plane of the conductive housing.

A flat switch is provided that prevents the flat switch from protruding and thereby causing a poor appearance even in a case where it is required to install a switch box so that an end part on an opening side of the switch box is not positioned on a predetermined distance or deeper side with respect to an appearance surface that is a surface of a wall. A flat switch (1) of the present invention is a flat switch (1) that is installed in a switch box (100) having a bottom part (101) and a vertical wall part (102) which is provided along an outer periphery of the bottom part (101). The switch box (100) is installed so that, with respect to an appearance surface that is a front surface of a wall, a peripheral edge part (102A) is not positioned on a predetermined distance or deeper side in a depth direction of the wall from the appearance surface. The flat switch (1) includes a sensor unit (20) whose thickest part in a direction from the peripheral edge part (102A) of the switch box (100) to the bottom part (101) is thicker than a predetermined distance in a state of being installed in the switch box and whose outer shape is smaller than an inner shape of the peripheral edge part (102A) of the switch box (100).
