Abstract
A latching switch operated by push motions for making electrical connections. A displaceable contact carrier (50) is slidably mounted within an enclosure and has multiple positions for making electrical contacts. A rotatable cam (62) is positioned adjacent the contact carrier and via selected camming surfaces controls the position of the contact carrier. A cam actuator (30) is displaced by push motions and includes a contact surface for engaging the rotatable cam to displace the cam to cause the contact carrier to be placed in the desired position.
