UNITARY INSULATING HOUSING FOR ROCKER SWITCHES

摘要

A rocker switch has a rocker housing and a cylindrical switch housing extending from the rocker housing. A switch mechanism is mounted in the switch housing and is operated by a rocker mounted at least partially within the rocker housing to pivot about an axis. The cylindrical switch housing is smaller than the rocker housing so that the switch housing can be inserted in a hole in a face to project through the hole and be located with the rocker housing abutting the face. Also the two housings are formed as integral parts of a switch body comprising a pair of moulded shells arranged on opposite sides of a plane including the axis of the cylindrical switch housing.
