ABSTRACT:
A leaf spring switch device is composed of an L-shaped base member having a long portion and a short portion. A pair of leaf spring contactors extend through the short portion of the base member and have contacts at one end and terminals at opposite ends. An actuator is mounted on one contactor to move it with respect to the other. The contactors extend along the long portion. The lengths of the long and short portions of the base member are selected to be the same as long and short dimensions of a conventional microswitch with the width of the long portion being one half the length of the short portion. In this way, the leaf spring switch device of the present invention is interchangeable with a conventional microswitch.
