ABSTRACT:
A miniature slide switch assembly in which a fixed base member, has a pair of opposite longitudinal side surface, molded out of any suitable insulating material. Each of the side surface is provided with a pair of recesses. At least two adjacent molded fixed contacts are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the base member. A movable casing member slidably rides on the base member in such a manner that it can slide in the direction of the array of the fixed contacts, each of opposite side surfaces of the movable casing member having a resilient detent bar. The resilient detent bar is provided with, at the top end thereof, a finger capable of being alternately snap fitted into the recesses, and an electrically conductive inversed U-shaped strip is accommodated in the cavity of the movable casing member. This strip can slide over the adjacent fixed contacts in accordance with the movement of the movable casing member, whereby, when the conductive strip is in the first position, it bridges two adjacent fixed contacts, and when the conductive strip is in the second position, the bridging of the conductive strips between two adjacent fixed contacts is broken.
