A toggle switch ( ), notably a window regulator switch in a motor vehicle, comprises a switch housing ( ) in which a spring-biased toggle lever ( ) is arranged in at least one switching limit position and a dead-center position. The toggle lever ( ) comprises at least one switch-operating lever portion ( ) that actuates at least one switching assembly ( ), the toggle lever ( ) featuring a center projection in which a spring-loaded catch unit ( ) is fitted which interacts with a cam curve ( ) contingent on the position of the toggle lever ( ). To reduce the overall volume of the switch housing ( ) and compensate for construction-related tolerances, the switch housing comprises a receiving part ( ) that is integral with it, in which the toggle lever ( ) is fitted, and in which at the same time the cam curve ( ) is integrated, with the receiving part ( ) enclosing the at least one switching assembly ( ) and the at least one switch-operating lever portion ( ).
