A metal can opener switch housing has slotted, spaced apart side walls for slidably receiving a unitary switch frame of insulating material which, in turn, employs parallel, spaced apart walls. Offset switch terminal supports extend transversely between the walls and adjacent respective ends of the switch frame. First and second similarly configured switch terminals formed of flat strip stock have web portions on the supports and portions extending obliquely beyond one side of the frame and away from respective ends, defining contact ends which extend in opposite directions and are spaced apart due to the spacing of the supports. A leaf spring integral with the housing is engageable by the overlapping or outer terminal upon flexure towards the other side of the frame to provide a high force tending to open the switch.
