ABSTRACT:
A sliding switch includes a housing, a sliding seat slidably received in the housing, a fixing member securely mounted in the sliding seat to move therewith, and a wheel rotatably mounted to the fixing member. A face plate is securely mounted in the housing and located above the sliding seat. The face plate includes a number of pairs of slots, and a number of pairs of prongs respectively extend through the slots. The face plate further includes at least two V-shape operative grooves defined in the underside thereof. The wheel is movable from one of the operative groove to other operative groove to provide selective electrical connection between the prongs. Each operative groove includes two inclined surfaces which meet at a common upper end thereof. The wheel contacts with the two inclined surfaces of the associated operative groove to provide reliable electrical connection.
