Abstract
An electrical switch having general utility but intended primarily for use in automotive vehicles. The switch comprises a case and one or more terminal blades and is readily adaptable for a variety of different environmental conditions. The case and the blades are uniquely formed and correlated so that the case effectively insulates each blade from the others and from adjacent metallic parts of the vehicle, so that the components can be quickly and easily assembled and for inexpensive manufacture. Each blade is cantilevered from the case to provide a soft action that results in a relatively long life but at the same time maintains a good electrical connection with a compatible switch part.
