Abstract

1464012 Mechanical switches without quick action AMP Inc 17 May 1974 [4 June 1973] 21946/74 Heading H1N A multiposition switch has a contact 50, Fig. 1, engageable with a printed circuit board 88 Fig. 2, and mounted on a carrier 36 attached to an actuator 74 which is movable to various positions along an elongated slot 28 in the housing 1. The actuator 74 has projections 92 engageable in recesses 30 in the sides of the slot 28 for locating each switch position, and for changing the position, the actuator is withdrawn from the recesses 30 lifting the carrier 36 and contact 50 away from the printed circuit 88 for re-engagement therewith at the next selected position. The contact 50 has a bifurcated end 56 for engagement with the printed circuit 88 and a pair of spring arms 48 engageable with a bus-bar strip 16 extending the length of the side wall 8 of the housing 1 and having a terminal projection 20. The arms 48 slide longitudinally on the strip 16 between switching positions and then transversely during engagement and disengagement. The arrangement is such that the spring blade contact 50 makes only abutting contact with the printed circuit to minimize wear.
