ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch assembly actuatable by a rotatable member wherein the switch assembly includes a polysulfone housing having a hub with a peripheral camming surface and a hub aperture. The hub is rotatably disposed in the housing wherein the rotatable member is disposable through a housing aperture and into the hub aperture for engagement with the hub. A pair of substantially similar resilient electrical contact blades are disposed in the housing in spaced relation wherein each resilient electrical contact blade has at least one wire engagement portion accessible through a wire aperture in the housing. The hub is rotatable by the rotatable member so as to cause the peripheral camming surface of the hub with one of the resilient electrical contact blades and thereby flex the engaged resilient electrical contact blade into electrical contact with the other resilient electrical contact blade. The housing is a two part assembly having a fluid resistant interface. A mounting member is disposed on an outer surface of the housing for coupling the switch assembly to a gas valve assembly.
