ABSTRACT:
A switch activating plug 10 comprises a housing 12, an inner conductor 17, an intermediate conductor 18 spaced apart from the inner conductor 17, and a dielectric member 19 supporting the inner and intermediate 17,18 conductors. The dielectric member 19 is constructed with axial cavities 88,92 for slidable assembly with the conductive parts of the inner and intermediate conductors 17,18 and in such manner that the inner and intermediate conductors 17,18 are maintained by the dielectric member 19 in electrical isolation from one another. The inner conductor 17 comprises a shaft 58 having a contact head 60 at one end and a terminal 62 at another end. The inner conductor 17 further comprises a flange 66 along the shaft 58 and an offset portion 64 of the shaft 68 spaced from the flange 66. Upon slidable assembly with the dielectric member 19, the flange 66 prevents movement of the inner conductor 17 in one direction, while the offset portion 64 of the shaft 58 prevents movement in an opposite direction, relative to the dielectric member 19. The intermediate conductor 18 includes a cantilevered lancet 80 projecting toward the dielectric member 19. Upon assembly with the dielectric member 19, the cantilevered lancet 80 abuts against an edge 96 of the dielectric member 19 to prevent further slidable movement of the intermediate electrical conductor 18 relative to the dielectric member 19.
