ABSTRACT:
A generally rectangular plastic switch housing has locating tabs that position a U-shaped hardened steel grounding strap on the housing so that the strap and housing can be conveniently mounted from the front of a panel in a panel opening that includes relieved and upset portions designed to make electrical contact with serrated segments of the U-shaped strap's legs. The base of the U-shaped strap has an opening with upset edges designed to make electrical contact with the center terminal in the bottom wall of the switch housing.
