Claims
- 1. An inhibitor switch, comprising:
- a movable base provided with permanent magnets, said movable base being rotatable in accordance with an operating position of an automatic transmission device;
- magnetic sensors for detecting a magnetic flux from said permanent magnets;
- a pole base and a cover which are coupled together and rotatably support said movable base, said pole base having a bottom surface and a recessed portion defined by an offset surface recessed from said bottom surface; and
- a conductive body composed of terminals projected into a connector section of said pole base and a body section, said magnetic sensors being mounted on said body section, said conductive body having an inserted portion which is, said body section of said conductive body and said magnetic sensors mounted thereon being disposed within said recessed portion of said pole base.
- 2. The inhibitor switch according to claim 1, wherein said pole base is provided with notches in which said magnetic sensors are disposed at an outer periphery of said recessed portion.
- 3. The inhibitor switch according to claim 1, wherein said pole base is provided with a notch in which a substrate is disposed at an outer periphery of said recessed portion.
- 4. The inhibitor switch according to claim 1, wherein said pole base is provided with a raised guide structure that positions and holds at least one of said magnetic sensors within said recessed portion.
- 5. The inhibitor switch according to claim 1, wherein lead terminals of said magnetic sensors are folded to project downwardly into said bottom section of said conductive body, and surfaces of said magnetic sensors facing said permanent magnet are approximately aligned with said bottom surface of the pole base.
- 6. An inhibitor switch, comprising:
- a movable base provided with a permanent magnet and being rotatable in accordance with an operating position of an automatic transmission device;
- a magnetic sensor for detecting a magnetic flux from said permanent magnet;
- a pole base and a cover which are coupled together and rotatably support said movable base; and
- a conductive body composed of terminals projected into a connector section of said pole base and a body section, said magnetic sensor being mounted on said body section, said conductive body having an inserted portion disposed within said pole base, said pole base having a bottom surface and a recessed portion in which said body section and said magnetic sensor are disposed, said recessed portion being defined by an offset surface recessed from said bottom surface, said magnetic sensor having a lead terminal that connects to said body section of said conductive body within said recessed portion, and said magnetic sensor having a surface facing said permanent magnet that is approximately flush with said bottom surface of the pole base.
- 7. The inhibitor switch according to claim 6, wherein said pole base is provided with a notch in which said magnetic sensor is disposed at an outer periphery of said recessed portion.
- 8. The inhibitor switch according to claim 7, wherein said pole base is provided with another notch in which a substrate is disposed at an outer periphery of said recessed portion.
- 9. The inhibitor switch according to claim 6, wherein said pole base is provided with a raised guide structure that positions and holds said magnetic sensor within said recessed portion.
