ABSTRACT:
A push-push type alternate action latching switch having low displacement and providing tactile feedback. The switch includes a push button actuator (80), a contact carrier (40) which is caused to rotate creating motion in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the push button, and a cycler (60) for effecting the desired motion are disclosed. The tactile feel is provided by displacing a terminal (34) over an extending detent rib (26) as it changes between switch positions. Low displacement is created by the translation of the in-out motion to the left-right motion to obtain the desired switching effect. A pair of interlocked push-push type alternate action latching switches is also disclosed.
