SLIDE SWITCH ASSEMBLY WITH RESILIENT BRIDGING CONTACT AND TERMINAL STRUCTURE ADAPTABLE TO 8/N POLE CONFIGURATIONS

摘要

An improved miniature switch having a pack shape and size, and leadout configuration approximately the same as that of a dual-in-line integrated circuit pack, thus facilitating tooling operations in printed circuit board manufacture, and automatic insertion of components. There are eight pairs of corresponding terminals. Shorting links initially between adjacent terminals are selectively removed, and an appropriate length slider is provides with one, two, or four contacts coupling corresponding terminals, thus making the switch one pole-eight way, two pole-four way, or four pole-two way.
