Power source switch

摘要

A switchable socket assembly (36) permits a power source to be changed. The switchable socket assembly (36) includes a switch guide (38) that communicates with a linear array of terminal fittings that include an output terminal fitting (12) and first and second input terminal fittings (14, 16) on opposite respective sides of the output terminal fitting (12). A switch (40) is slidable in the switch guide (38) and can be moved between first and second positions. In the first position, the switch (40) permits a fuse (30) to connect to the output terminal fitting (12) and the first input terminal fitting (14). In the second position, the switch (40) permits the fuse (30) to connect to the output terminal fitting (12) and the second input terminal fitting (16).

1. A switchable socket assembly for a fuse or relay that has two blades, comprising:
a housing with an output terminal fitting and first and second input terminal fittings on opposite respective sides of the output terminal fittings to define a substantially linear array; a switch guide in a fixed position on the housing and extending substantially parallel to the linear array, the switch guide further having a base wall with an opening that provides communication to the output terminal and the input terminals; and a switch formed from a synthetic resin and having a bottom wall with at least one opening dimensioned for permitting the two blades of the fuse or relay to be inserted therethrough, the switch being slidable linearly along the switch guide from a first position where the opening in the bottom wall of the switch aligns with and permits access to the output terminal fitting and the first input terminal fittings and a second position where the opening in the bottom wall of the switch aligns with and permits access to the output terminal fitting and the second input terminal fitting.
