Switch assembly employing an external customizing printed circuit board

摘要

An interchangeable printed circuit board having electrical components is attached externally proximate to the base of a switch to customize switch performance. The circuit board includes openings which slide over and electrically engage the terminals of the switch proximate the base, leaving the remainder of the terminals exposed and available for plug-in or solder electrical connection within an electrical system. The openings may be copper contact members having fingers which engage and electrically connect to the switch terminals.
