A slider assembly is for an electrical switch such as, for example, a dimmer switch. The dimmer switch includes a switching member and a housing member. The housing member overlays the switching member and includes an exterior surface, an interior surface, and an elongated slot. The slider assembly includes a slider structured to cooperate with the switching member. The slider includes an interface portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion extends through the elongated slot of the housing member. The interface portion is movably disposed on the exterior surface of the housing member. A shutter is coupled to the slider. The shutter includes a plurality of resilient elements structured to engage the interior surface of the housing member, thereby creating a friction force associated with movement of the slider.

A mounting assembly is for an electrical switch, such as for example, a dimmer switch, which includes a heat sink. The mounting assembly includes a switching member, an insulator disposed between the switching member and the heat sink, and a separate cover member overlaying the switching member. The separate cover member is structured to secure the switching member and the insulator to the heat sink. The switching member includes a switch body and a conductive tab. The separate cover member secures the switching member to the heat sink, without requiring a separate fastener to be inserted through a hole in the conductive tab. The insulator electrically isolates the conductive tab from the heat sink.
