Abstract
A toggle button assembly for a human-machine interface (HMI). The toggle button assembly includes a circuit board. A first switch and a second switch are mounted to the circuit board. A toggle body is rotatable about a toggle body rotation axis. A first switch actuator is between the toggle body and the first switch, and a second switch actuator is between the toggle body and the second switch. Upon actuation of the toggle body from a center position to a first position, the toggle body rotates about the toggle body rotation axis and presses the first switch actuator against the first switch to actuate the first switch. Upon actuation of the toggle body from the center position to a second position, the toggle body rotates about the toggle body rotation axis and presses the second switch actuator against the second switch to actuate the second switch.
