Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic component comprising: a case; a switching mechanism incorporated within the case; an actuator configured to actuate the switching mechanism, the actuator being mounted in the case so as to be displaceable by sliding; and a rubber cap configured to seal a sliding part of the actuator, wherein the rubber cap is made of a hydrin-based rubber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic component comprising: a case; a switching mechanism incorporated within the case; an actuator configured to actuate the switching mechanism, the actuator being mounted in the case so as to be displaceable by sliding; and a rubber cap configured to seal a sliding part of the actuator, wherein the rubber cap is resistant against a permeability of siloxane gas and is made of a hydrin-based rubber; wherein the hydrin-based rubber consists essentially of epichlorohydrin homopolymer or epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer or epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer; and wherein an ether-based plasticizer is added to the hydrin-based rubber in an amount of 5 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the rubber. 2. The electronic component according to claim 1 , further comprising: a base having a plurality of terminals fixed thereto; and the base formed to fit with the case, wherein the switching mechanism is incorporated within a space enclosed by the base and the case, and the switching mechanism comprises a movable piece, and the movable piece configured to move in response to displacement of the actuator and to provide snap-action movement to switch on or off the conduction between the terminals. 3. An electronic component, comprising: a case; a switching mechanism incorporated within the case; an actuator configured to actuate the switching mechanism, the actuator being mounted in the case so as to be displaceable by sliding; and a rubber cap configured to seal a sliding part of the actuator; wherein the rubber cap is resistant against a permeability of siloxane gas and is made of a hydrin-based rubber; and wherein the hydrin-based rubber consists essentially of epichlorohydrin homopolymer or epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer or epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether terpolymer. 4. The electronic component according to claim 3 , further comprising: a base having a plurality of terminals fixed thereto; and the base formed to fit with the case, wherein the switching mechanism is incorporated within a space enclosed by the base and the case, and the switching mechanism comprises a movable piece, and the movable piece configured to move in response to displacement of the actuator and to provide snap-action movement to switch on or off the conduction between the terminals. 5. The electronic component of claim 3 , wherein an ether-based plasticizer is added to the hydrin-based rubber in an amount of 5 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the rubber.
