ABSTRACT:
An illuminated push-button switch comprising a support element for receiving therein a switching key, at least two contacts which are adapted to be connected to connecting leads, a deformable contact connection element as well as an interior light source, and a light exit window provided on the switch side equipped with the switching key. The switching key is displaced from an original position to an end position, whereby an electric connection between the contacts is established or/and eliminated by the deformation of the contact connection element, against a restoring force produced by the contact connection element when the contact connection element is being deformed. The support element and the contact connection element are each provided with an opening in such a way that the interior light source can be readily replaced from the side of the switch opposite the switching key.
