ABSTRACT:
A multiple contact switch assembly is provided and may be characterized as a four-way rocker switch or as a two axis rocker switch. The switch assembly comprises a rocker body that is supported on a carrier bridge for pivotal movement about one axis. The carrier bridge and rocker body subassembly is attached to a pocket in a bezel for pivotal movement about an axis that is perpendicular to the axis about which the rocker body pivots relative to the carrier bridge. A button face of the rocker body contacts a switch contact dome when the button face is contacted in one of the four quadrants. Contacting the button face between two quadrants is ineffective to make contact with any of the switch contact domes.
