Abstract: A microwave C-, T- or S-switch (200) has an actuator (208) of circular shape that is rotated by a suitable motor (210). Each conductor path of the switch contains a connector (214 , 216, 218, 220) having two positions, one position connecting the conductor path and a second position interrupting the conductor path. The conductor paths and connectors (214 , 216, 218, 220) are enclosed within a housing (204) and a pin (222, 224, 226, 228) is mounted on each connector and extends outside of the housing through a suitable opening (234, 236). Each pin is spring-mounted so that the conductor path is connected when the pin is depressed and interrupted when the pin is released. The actuator (208) is shaped and mounted to override the pins, the actuator containing one or more ridges (246) and one or more indentations (248). When a ridge overrides a pin, the pin is depressed and the conductor path is connected. When an indentation overrides a pin, the pin is released and the conductor path is interrupted. By properly arranging the size and location of ridges and indentations on the actuator, the conductor paths can be connected or interrupted simply by rotating the actuator through two or more positions. The switch achieves mass and volume savings over previous switches. Also, the switch is simple and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract translation: 微波C-，T-或S-开关（200）具有由合适的电动机（210）旋转的圆形致动器（208）。 开关的每个导体路径包含具有两个位置的连接器（214,216,218,220），连接导体路径的一个位置和中断导体路径的第二位置。 导体路径和连接器（214,216,218,220）被封装在壳体（204）内，并且销（222,224,226,228）安装在每个连接器上并且通过合适的开口延伸到外壳外部 234,236）。 每个引脚是弹簧安装的，使得当引脚被压下时，导体路径被连接，当引脚被释放时中断。 致动器（208）成形并安装成覆盖销，该致动器包含一个或多个脊（246）和一个或多个压痕（248）。 当一个脊覆盖一个引脚时，引脚被压下并且导体路径被连接。 当压痕覆盖引脚时，引脚被释放，导体路径中断。 通过适当地布置致动器上的脊和凹槽的尺寸和位置，可以简单地通过使致动器旋转两个或更多个位置来连接或中断导体路径。 该开关实现了以前的开关的大量和体积节省。 此外，开关简单且制造成本相对便宜。
