ABSTRACT:
A slide switch opening and closing a circuit for supplies electricity to a load by making and breaking contact between a movable contact and a stationary contact. The stationary contact is integrally formed with an arc generating portion for generating an arc when the circuit is opened or closed. The arc generating portion protrudes in the direction of movement of the movable contact and has a width which gradually decreases from its base portion towards its tip portion. The slide switch is capable of preventing the arc generating portion and the movable contact from having a groove due to wear.
