ABSTRACT:
A switch module for connection to an electrical circuit comprises a manually actuated ON/OFF switch mechanism mounted on a molded plastic case and two or more bus bars built integrally into the structure of the case, as by an insert molding process. The bus bars project out of the case at their ends, the exposed ends serving as terminals for electrical connection with the circuit and as spring contacts within the switch mechanism. The push button switch mechanism is an improvement over prior switches, having a single spring controlling both the push button and the shorting bar, and having positive alignment of the shorting bar and bus bar ends achieved by the pre-positioning of the bus bar ends in direct lateral sliding contact with the push button sidewall and sidewall-mounted shorting bar.
