Abstract
A mounting post for holding a light emitting diode in an electrical pushbutton switch is formed by a cylindrical base which has a pair of cut-out sections located intermediate the top and bottom surfaces of the base which are diametrically opposed on opposite sides of the base. The cut-out sections divide a pair of elongated, parallel passageways for the leads of a light emitting diode (LED) or other light device into upper and lower segments so that a portion of the leads of the inserted LED are exposed in the cut-out sections. The leads of the LED are then crimped in the cut-out sections so that the lead forced against a rear wall of these sections with the leads being restrained from moving by engagement of the leads with upper and lower walls of the cut-out sections.
