A switch structure has a housing and a cover. The housing includes a receiving portion and the position point, the position point is disposed at a groove wall of the receiving portion. The cover is pivotally connected to the housing, the cover system can be received in the receiving portion. The cover comprises a position sheet. The position sheet has at least one elastic section and a fixed point. The fixed point corresponds to the position point. The fixed point has a fixing direction corresponding to the position point. The elastic section has an elastic direction. The elastic direction and the fixing direction are substantially parallel.

In an electromagnetic relay, terminal slits into which a coil terminal connected to a coil, a fixed contact terminal to which a fixed contact is attached, and a movable contact terminal electrically connected to a movable contact are inserted into is formed in a base, and the base is formed with ventilation holes used to discharge gas generated in an internal space and discharge vapor generated in the internal space. The ventilation holes are formed so as to be connected with the terminal slits.

An electronic component comprising: a case; a switching mechanism incorporated within the case; an actuator configured to actuate the switching mechanism, the actuator being mounted in the case so as to be displaceable by sliding; and a rubber cap configured to seal a sliding part of the actuator, wherein the rubber cap is made of a hydrin-based rubber.

A switch board of a board unit includes a switch board including an exposed portion exposed to an outside, a non-exposed portion not exposed to the outside, and a switch provided in the non-exposed portion. The non-exposed portion of the switch board is covered with the cover portion. The cover portion is formed as one piece with the switch board in the state in which liquid-tightness is kept between the cover portion and the non-exposed portion, and liquid is prevented from flowing from the outside of the board unit into the non-exposed portion.

An electronic component includes an internal component, an inner case, and an outer case. The inner case is hermetically sealed and houses the internal component. The outer case is arranged outside the inner case with a gap between the outer case and the inner case. The outer case includes an opening. The opening communicates the gap with an outside of the outer case.

A switching device includes a first electrode at least partially disposed within a sealed chamber. The sealed chamber encloses a plasma phase change material. The switching device includes a second electrode at least partially disposed within the sealed chamber. The second electrode is physically separated from the first electrode. When subjected to a signal that satisfies a threshold, the plasma phase change material forms a plasma within the sealed chamber. The first electrode is electrically coupled to the second electrode via the plasma when the plasma is formed. The first electrode is electrically isolated from the second electrode when the plasma is not formed. The switching device includes a first connector electrically coupled to the first electrode and a second connector electrically coupled to the second electrode. The first connector, the second connector, or both, are configured to receive the signal.

A sealed electrical contact system includes at least one male electrical contact with at least one annular flange and a male conductive contact. At least one female electrical contact includes a receptacle and a female conductive contact disposed in the receptacle. The at least one annular flange is configured to contact an inner surface of the receptacle when the male conductive contact contacts the female conductive contact and closes a circuit.

An ignition switch assembly is configured to be operatively connected to a gas valve. The ignition switch assembly may include a first ignition contact and a second ignition contact. The first and second ignition contacts may be sized and shaped the same. A hub may be configured to be rotated within the ignition switch assembly. A rotation of the hub in a first direction causes a portion of the first ignition contact to engage the second ignition contact. Further rotation of the hub in the first direction or rotation of the hub in a second direction that is opposite from the first direction causes the portion of the first ignition contact to disengage from the second ignition contact.
