Abstract
An on-off slide switch is arranged on a circuit board, preferably that of a battery-operated electronic clock, for actuating a stepping motor thereof. The slide switch can be moved to different positions and interacts with several electric paths of the circuit board. The switch is arranged movably along one edge of the circuit board and bears against such edge via guide elements. The switch carries at least one contact element for shunting a plurality of tracks of the board and a grip for its manual operation. The slide switch, together with all elements carried by it is designed in the form of a punched-out, flexible metal part and is easily installed on or removed from the circuit board without the need for separate fasteners.
