ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch assembly is provided for use as a single-pole, double-throw switch. The assembly includes a housing having an interior cavity. First and second stationary contacts are positioned on one side of the interior cavity, and third and fourth stationary contacts are positioned on the other side of the interior cavity. A conductive member is interconnected between the first and third stationary contacts. A movable contact member is configured in one operative position to complete an electrical path between the first and the second stationary contacts, configured in a second operative position to complete an electrical path between the third and the fourth stationary contacts, and configured in an inoperative or OFF position to be electrically disconnected from all four stationary contacts. The improved switch assembly eliminates a center contact disposed in the housing, such that the switch assembly is less cumbersome and costly to manufacture and assemble.
