ABSTRACT:
A slide switch is formed by a housing which slidably receives a carrier with a resilient spring contact which bridges between selected pairs of a plurality of contact poles disposed in a longitudinal row along one wall of the housing. The spring contact member is received within the carrier and is biased therein against a fulcrum abutment to provide a resilient rocking action in making and breaking electrical contact. The spring contact member also resiliently biases the detent of the switch which includes a plurality of transverse slots disposed along an opposite wall of the housing with cooperative rib members on the engaging surface of the carrier.
