ABSTRACT:
An electronic key contact assembly for automobiles has a static housing and a rotatable assembly. The rotatable assembly comprises a housing having a key receiving slot and spring terminals. In the Off position, the spring terminals are outwardly biased, where a camming portion thereof is received in a recess of the static housing. Upon turning the key to the On position, the contacts are inwardly biased by engagement of the camming portion with a raised portion of the static housing. Rubbing of the key with the contacts during insertion is thus avoided.
