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
