A miniature electrical switch including a housing having a cover and a base plate and a switching assembly within the housing. The switching assembly includes a switch actuator, a ball contactor and a spring, together with a contact assembly. A plurality of contacts are engageable by the ball contactor to electrically interconnect contacts connected to a circuit. The contacts are arranged to enable the switch to be used in single-pole double-throw, double-pole double-throw or multiple-pole double-throw modes.

Miniature electrical switch

A miniature switch assembly includes a switch housing having a cover and end plate and includes a plurality of switch operating rocker arms extending outwardly from the switch cover. Each of the operating rocker arms is rotatably movable between a first closed position and a second open position and includes a spring mounted in the base which biases a ball contactor thereon to selectively bridge a pair of conductor terminals mounted within the housing to complete the switch action. Each pair of the conductor terminals is secured to the end plate which in turn is secured to the switch cover to hold the switch assembly in assembled relationship.
