ABSTRACT:
A switch terminal board of insulation material has spaced contacts fixed on one surface thereof which recieve a sliding switch member. The housing body also contains a sliding contact, a bias spring for pressing the sliding contact toward the fixed contacts, and an operating handle. Parallel longitudinal edges of the terminal board are fitted into corresponding parallel, elongated slots in the housing to securely fix the terminal board against accidental displacement and dislodgement due to forces which tend to pull the board away from the housing. Central portions of the edges of the switch terminal board may be notched, and the housing material below the slots can be deformed into the notches to improve the securement of the terminal board within the housing.
