Abstract

The present invention discloses a dual-actuator switch, comprising: a base, a first electrical connection member, a second electrical connection member, a first isolation sleeve cylinder, a second isolation sleeve cylinder, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a cover. By pressing one of the two actuators to drive one of the two isolation sleeve cylinders to rotate, the isolation sleeve cylinder is driven to prop one of the two electrical connection members by a protrusion member thereof, such that one of two switching operations is carried out. It is worth noting that, the electrical connection members are isolated from the actuators by the isolation sleeve cylinders during the whole electrical switching procedures. As a result, ambient moisture is absolutely blocked from getting into the base for infiltrating the electrical connection members during the up and/or down motion of the actuators.
