ABSTRACT:
A slide switch having an insulating substrate, a plurality of stationary contact segments including a common contact segment and a plurality of switching segments and arranged in a row, and a movable contact having segments adapted to slide in contact with the stationary contact segments. The insulating substrate has a longitudinal groove extended along the row of the stationary contact segments. The stationary contact segments are disposed to be raised to a height above the groove and to also straddle the groove. The movable contact segments have a width less than that of the groove and thus are adapted to slide within the width of the groove. Each movable contact segment can have sliding tabs formed at both sides thereof and adapted to slide in contact with guide steps formed on the insulating substrate at respective sides of the row of the movable contact segments.
