As shown, the dielectric mounting 5 may be provided with slots 13, 17 in which are arranged conductors 12, 16, the conductor 12 supporting the arm 9 and the conductor 13 supporting the contact 15. The peg 8 is guided in its movement by a tubular guide 19 which retains the element 7 in the case 1. The case 1 may be provided with an inwardly turned edge portion 3 which bears on an external flange of the dielectric mounting 5 to retain the guide 19 in position through the annular element 22. The case 1 which may be provided with an externally screw-threaded portion 2 may be of metal or of metal covered with plastics material which may be reinforced with glass fibre. |
