Seesaw switch

摘要

A common contact and at least one fixed contact are planted on an insulating bottom panel of an insulating case. A movable contact piece formed by bending a conductive spring material into a U-shape to have a pair of opposed contact leaves is pivotally mounted on the common contact so that it is turned from side to side by an actuator such as a push button or toggle lever. As the movable contact piece turns from one side to the other, it makes sliding contact with the fixed contact gripping it between the pair of opposed contact leaves.
