ABSTRACT:
A rocker switch incorporating a sliding contact that provides both the detent action and high current capacity desirable in such switches. The sliding contact is in the shape of a shoe with an essentially inverted wedge shape in which the angle of the wedge is an obtuse angle with its apex pointed away from the rocker. The sliding of this shoe-like contact across electrical contacts in the bottom of the switch creates the switching action.
