Inner contact sections of the contact members are located within the recess and outer contact sections of the contact members extend outwardly from the housing. Bow-shaped movable contact members are secured to dielectric operating members for electrically connecting respective pairs of contact members in a first position and for disconnecting the pairs of contact members in a second position. A cover member is sealingly secured onto the top surface of the housing and openings extend through the cover member. An operating section of the operating members extends through a respective one of the openings and the operating members include flexible cover sections covering the movable contact members. Detent members on the inside surface of the cover member and on the cover sections of the operating members to maintain the operating members in the first or second position.
