ABSTRACT:
A DIP switch is disclosed comprising improved sliding actuator means receivable within a rectangular housing channel. The slide actuator comprises a dielectric body having a plurality of parallel arms projecting forward therefrom, with each of the arms having a free, reversely formed end segment projecting backward in superior relationship to the actuator body. The slide actuator further comprises a plurality of parallel conductive arms, electrically and mechanically connected at one end, and projecting rearwardly from the actuator body. Each of the conductive arms is formed to provide a reversely-bent depending end segment projecting downwardly for engaging and interconnecting appropriate circuitry in the housing channel. A cover is further provided for enclosing the top of the housing channel, and provides a series of corrugations along a bottom surface thereof which are engaged by the superior actuator arm segments to register the actuator slide body along the housing channel.
