ABSTRACT:
An electrical switch including a toggle lever pivotally mounted to a switch housing with the toggle lever connected to a slide in a manner to provide longitudinal motion to the slide between a first and second end positions when the toggle lever is pivoted. The slide includes a first conductor, which when the slide is at the first end position, maintains contact with a first conductive track and, when the slide is at the second end position, provides an electrical conduction path between the first conductive track and a second node. When the slide is located between the first and second end positions, the first conductor provides an electrical conduction path between the first conductive track and a third node. The first conductor is also in contact with a second conductor within the slide and the second conductor is in sliding contact with a circuit contained upon a substrate which is further connected between the first and third conductive track and having an output connected to the second conductive track. The substrate is mounted upon the switch housing parallel to the longitudinal motion of the slide and perpendicular to the pivotal rotation of the toggle lever. By pivoting the toggle lever, the electrical output of the substrate circuit is altered.
