A limit switch construction is provided in which a first component is affixed to a first section of a housing and a second component is affixed to a second section of the housing. When the two sections of the housing are assembled, the components electrically engage one another and are encompassed by the housing. The first component includes a pair of stationary contact means and a third contact means selectively movable into electrical contact with either of said stationary contact means. The second component is provided with a plurality of terminals which are electrically connected to corresponding contact means of the first component when the housing sections are assembled. The contact means and terminals are located adjacent one of the side walls of the first and the second sections and the second housing section is provided with an elongated pocket for accommodating portions of the electrical leads extending into the housing and connected to the terminals.
