ABSTRACT:
A printed circuit board mountable switch includes a insulative body having a plurality of leads extending out of the body, the leads being formed into two parallel and opposed rows with fixed ends of the leads being spaced apart and facing each other on the floor of the body. A slide switch element includes a bow shaped element having first and second contact elements adjacent to respective first and second fixed ends of the leads. The switch element is moveable between a first position where the switch element bridges between the associated first and second lead fixed ends, to a position where the second contact portion only, is in contact with the second fixed end of the lead. The housing body including integrally molded ramps or cams which flank the width of the first and second fixed ends and at least partially extend therebetween. The slide switch element includes at the first contact end, a T-shaped shunt element which includes tabs complementary with the two ramps, such that upon sliding movement of the slide element, the first contact end is lifted vertically off of the floor of the housing.
