An electrical switch wherein material is cut out of a sheet or web (1) of electrically conductive material such that a plurality of sets of terminals (5, 6, 7) are formed integrally with the sheet (1). A housing is moulded onto each set of terminals such that the inner terminals (7) are within the housing. Operative elements are mounted in the housing. The individual switches are separated from the sheet (1) either by severing the terminals 5 at 15 and 25 and the terminals 6 at 16, thereby forming a switch with a short distance (e.g. 4 mm) between the terminal ends of terminals (16), or by severing the terminals 6 at 16 and 26 and the terminals 5 at 15, thereby forming a switch with a longer distance (e.g. 6 mm) between the terminal ends of terminal (15). Thus, the switch has a set of at least two metallic terminals (5, 6), each of which comprises at least two sub-sets, wherein each sub-set corresponds to a different application of the switch. <IMAGE> |
