In the manufacture of an electrical component comprising a housing of a synthetic material and a row of connection tags, a strip material is punched to form a comb or grid in which the connection tags are interconnected by connection pieces extending between each two adjacent connection tags. After moulding the housing of synthetic material, the connection pieces, which are then situated between the free ends of the connection tags and the housing, are cut on one side and are subsequently bent so that they remain connected to the connection tags as harmless protrusions.

Method of manufacturing an electrical component comprising connection

A slide switch having S-shaped movable contact springs which are movably connected to the contact slide, the free legs of the contact springs being provided with contact areas twisted through an angle of at least 1.degree., so that the switch is substantially crackle-free.
