Bei unserer Box ist der Schalter samt Platine weg. Kann man das Kabel auch direkt am Schalter anlöten oder hat die Platine eine Funktion?

Hi,

die Platine hat keine elektrische Funktion. Sie dient nur mechanisch dazu den Taster zu stützen. Wenn du es schaffst den direkt anzulöten geht das auch, ich weiss allerdings nicht wie gut das Veralten beim drücken ist oder ob das wider kaputt geht. Hier habe Ich neue Platinen gesehen die man allerdings selbst noch etwas bearbeiten muss:

Ansonsten hat die keine Funktion. Ihr könnt die Kabel auch an die Taster direkt löten.
