A small switch suitable for remote control of a light or other low current electrical device, embodies a bridging contact thimble telescoped over and axially slidable on a guide stud disposed between spaced resilient contact blades which are engaged by the thimble upon projection of the thimble by a floating sleeve which has radial latch dogs alternately rotated by push operation into latching engagement with the ends of circumferentially spaced holding ribs in a surrounding housing, for latching the thimble in contact with the blades, and, on the next push operation, into position to be received between the ribs for spring-loaded retraction of the thimble and the floating sleeve by a coil spring enclosed within the thimble under compression between the guide stud and the remote end of the thimble.
