A linear vehicle transmission switch () has first and second interfitting housing members () each having an electrically conductive lead frame () insert molded in electrically insulative material and formed with exposed segments () of lead frame material along linear tracks. An elongated actuator () is slidably received in a channel of one of the housing members and is disposed along a side of the tracks. A paddle () extends transversely across the tracks. Ribs are disposed between tracks and dimensioned to limit rotational movement of the paddle. A pair of stabilized contact switches is disposed on the paddle for each track. The housing members have a selected camber to lower the force required to move the actuator. The lead frames are plated to reduce contact resistance and improve wear.

Electrical switch system for use with vehicular transmissions

A differential liquid pressure sensor () has an upper housing () that mounts a connector portion () and receives in a recess a sense element module (). The sense element module is a body in which a generally U-shaped oil filled passageway () is formed with openings at opposite ends provided on respective first and second diaphragm mounting surfaces. A fluid pressure sense element, such as a piezoresistive sense element () is disposed in one of the passageway openings and flexible metal diaphragms () are mounted on the respective diaphragm mounting surfaces of the module facing a common direction. A lower housing () having first and second port connections for the respective diaphragms is disposed on the lower surface of the module.
