ABSTRACT:
A push-button switch having two main subassemblies comprising an operator subassembly (2) and a housing subassembly (4) which are snap-fit together. A light emitting diode (10) is mounted flush in the center of the exterior face of the pushbutton (6) with the diode leads (10a) extending through the center of the switch mechanism to engage lamp contacts (20) at the rear of the switch housing (18). The switch contacts (22, 24, 26, 28) and mechanism are arranged to lie on opposite sides of center and are provided with various central clearance openings (8b, 16a, 30b) to permit the leads (10a) to project in an unsupported manner axially to the lamp contacts (20). The switch contacts comprise rockable contactors (28, 32) pivotable on a central contact (24, 34) to engage stationary contacts (22, 26) on either side thereof either alternately or as a momentary contact function.
