ABSTRACT:
A toggle switch apparatus is disclosed, which includes a toggle mechanism and a plurality of basic switches maintained within a tubular housing. An actuator is associated with at least one spring which together can serve to actuate the plurality of basic switches. A lead wire termination assembly can also be configured within the tubular housing, wherein the lead wire termination assembly comprises a plurality of lead wires attached to a plurality of pin contacts that exit through a cover of the tubular housing, thereby permitting the toggle switch apparatus to be actuated manually in a maintained position during high gravity conditions. The tubular housing can be configured as a sealed metal tube. A header can also be sealed into the tubular housing utilizing a glass-to-metal seal.
