Mechanical contact type (the oldest and cheapest)Internal components: copper contacts + spring + plastic push rod

1) Mechanical contact type (the oldest and cheapest)

Internal components: copper contacts + spring + plastic push rod

Principle: When the key is pressed down → the copper piece comes into contact → directly supply positive/negative electricity to the motor

Features: Simple structure, low cost; contacts are prone to wear and oxidation, short lifespan (2–30,000 times)

Common: Older models of vehicles, low-end aftermarket parts

2) Conductive rubber + PCB (most commonly used in mid-range)

Internal components: silicone buttons (carbon particle conductive) + PCB + gold pins / carbon film circuits

Principle: When the key is pressed down → the conductive rubber contacts the PCB → the circuit is connected

Features: Good dust and water resistance, soft feel, quiet, lifespan 5–10,000 times

Common: Most original factory switches of family cars

3) Resistor voltage divider / bus type (modern / Volkswagen / Ford mainstream)

Internal components: multi-stage resistor network + door control module

Principle: Different keys = different resistors → the module recognizes the voltage → drives the motor

Features: Fewer wires, stable, long lifespan, can be one-button up/down / anti-collision

Common: Most joint venture / domestic brand vehicles after 2010
