ABSTRACT:
A slide switch intended for mounting on a circuit board to switch terminal pads on the board comprises a channel-shaped sheet metal switch housing, an insulating slide member captured between the sidewalls of the housing, and switch contact members mounted on the outwardly facing surface of the slide member. When the switch is mounted on the circuit board, the switch contact members contact the terminal pads on the circuit board. Retaining means and detent means for the slide member are formed from the sidewalls of the sheet metal housing. Switches can be produced in strip form with the switch housings integral with, and extending laterally from, a continuous carrier strip.
