Abstract
Switch apparatus () includes a switching assembly () and an operating component assembly () respectively designed for mounting upon relative shiftable members, such as a door () and frame (). The assembly () includes a magnetic switch unit () having an elongated housing (), first and second spaced apart switch elements (), and a shiftable, electrically conductive body () within the housing and movable between a first switch state where the body is in simultaneous contact with the switch elements (), and a second switch state where the body is not in such simultaneous contact. In order to prevent unauthorized opening of the relatively shiftable members through use of an external defeat magnet (), the switch unit () is mounted substantially horizontally rather than in an upright or oblique orientation.
