A process for making an electrosurgical pencil with rocker switch for holding and controlling a monopolar electrosurgical scalpel blade, wherein the rocker switch pivots on the exterior of the pencil body and is isolated from the interior of the body by a flexible waterproof seal. In the process for manufacturing the electrosurgical pencil, a cable portion having at least a common conductor, first signal conductor, and second signal conductor is selected, clips are attached to each end of the three conductors of the cable portion, and a spring contact and a clip attached to one end of the common conductor are installed in a pencil body portion so that a central portion of the spring contact is held adjacent a switch seat. Clips attached to the first and second signal conductors are then mounted within the body portion beneath opposite ends of the switch seal and spaced apart from the spring contact, and a second body portion is sealed to the first body portion to create a unitary electrosurgical pencil body. The three clips at the opposite end of the cable from the body are installed in an asymmetrical polarized generator connector for electrical connection to an electrosurgical generator, and a seal and rocker switch are attached to the switch seat above the spring contact, so that finger pressure on the rocker switch will deflect the seal and place the spring contact in electrical connection with either of the wire clips within the body attached to the first or second signal conductors.
