ABSTRACT:
A combination switch is provided with a movable knob and a contact assembly. The movable knob is rotatable with respect to a lever base and has a movable contact. The contact assembly includes a holder, a volume plate and a rivet. The holder has a bottom portion opposite to the movable contact, a cylinder portion projecting from the bottom portion and fixed to the lever base, and a terminal plate fixed within the bottom portion. The volume plate is disposed on the bottom portion of the holder, and has a fixed contact slidably in contact with the movable contact. The rivet fixes the volume plate on the bottom portion, and electrically connects the fixed contact with the terminal plate. As mentioned above, a reliability and an assembling characteristic are improved by assembling between the volume plate and the holder, and between the volume plate and the rivet.
