ABSTRACT:
A miniature insert molded slide (10) or rocker (12) switch assembly is designed for machine insertion on printed circuit boards. A metallic strip (90) is blanked to form pairs of oppositely disposed terminals (22) still attached to the carrier strip (92). The insert-molding operation forms a box-like housing (14) about the terminals (22) on the strip (90), each pair of terminals (22) being embedded in the base (16) of said housing (14). During the insert-molding operation, the die forms the terminal head (28) of each terminal (22). The housing-terminals construction is utilized for both the slide (10) and rocker (12) switch assemblies. The slide switch assembly (10) includes an actuator (40) having a double cantilevered resilient contactor (50) entrapped in a through opening (48) in the actuator (40), the contactor (50) having a depending arcuately shaped contactor head (54) for engaging and disengaging the terminal heads (28). The rocker switch assembly (12 ) includes an actuator (60) having a through opening (66) and double cantilevered contactor (50) and has upward angled extensions (64) and lateral projections (70) from the sides of the actuator (60). The lateral projections (70) comprise pie-shaped shafts (70), the bottom portion (72) being arcuately shaped for slideable engagement with the top of transverse housing walls (19), and the point comprising a pivot (74).
