Abstract
A signal switch for a power tool has a paddle supported by a rocker that extends into a switch housing to pivot an actuating member. A circuit board is attached to a bottom of the switch. At least one micro-switch extends from the circuit board into the switch in position to be actuated by the actuating member depending on a position of the paddle. The circuit board includes a connector that is configured to connect to a cable, such as a ribbon cable. Circuit traces on the circuit board are electrically connected to the micro-switches and the electrical connector. The interior of the switch housing is sealed from the exterior environment so that the mechanical components of the switch are shielded from the environment.
