ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch assembly (10) is provided having upper (11) and lower (12) housing portions which house a dome switch contact assembly (13). A switch actuator (20) substantially comprising a planar oblong plate (21) is mounted to a housing wall (41) of the upper housing portion (11) in a through opening (44) of the housing wall. The actuator (20) forms a hand insertable snap-in subassembly with the wall (41). The actuator (20) is intended for substantially pivotal movement from first to second predetermined positions such that in the second position a contact projection (26) attached to a second longitudinal end portion (25) of the actuator contacts the dome switch assembly (13) while flexible bias tangs (45, 46) apply mechanical bias to the actuator at a first longitudinal end portion (24) to position the actuator toward its first position.
