characterised by the contacts or the contact sites

Introduced: January 2006

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Switches having rectilinearly-movable operating part or parts adapted for pushing or pulling in one direction only, e.g. push-button switch > having a plurality of operating members associated with different sets of contacts, e.g. keyboard > characterised by the contacts or the contact sites

CPC:

Switches having rectilinearly-movable operating part or parts adapted for pushing or pulling in one direction only, e.g. push-button switch (wherein the operating part is flexible H01H17/00) > having a plurality of operating members associated with different sets of contacts, e.g. keyboard (mounting together a plurality of independent switches H02B) > characterised by the contacts or the contact sites

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 5 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2006.
