Abstract

In a steering column switch for motor vehicles a hazard-warning signal switch is clipped onto the printed circuit board of the turn-signal switch. The turn-signal switch is contacted at the upper side and the hazard-warning signal switch at the underside of the printed circuit board. The hazard-warning signal switch is compactly constructed and does not impede the movability of the other switch levers and switch slides of the steering column switch.
