Female terminal

A multiple contact switch having at least one elastically deformable contact spring that is deformed by means of projections from a plunger to initiate contact with normally-open electrical contacts within the switch. A normally-closed contact piece within the switch also confronts the normally-open contact. Upon deformation of the elastically deformable spring contact, contacts are made and interrupted by means of contacts affixed to the movable contact springs.

Multiple contact switch

A snap switch with a self-cleaning function having a switch body with a fixed contact and a movable contact for performing make-break operations. A knob, mounted on the switch body, operates a contact operation member causing the movable contact to abut the fixed contact when the knob is rotated by a predetermined rotational angle and further causing the movable contact to slide on the fixed contact when the knob is further rotated.
