Abstract

A cylinder-operable key switch 5 comprises a cylinder housing 1 and a cylinder core 7 mounted rotatably therein, which acts upon an electrical switching device 3. The switching device 3 is located at one side of and adjacent to the cylinder core 7 which operates the switching device 3 by rotation of a control member 18. The key switch is particularly suitable for fitting to electronic equipment, where it provides a high insulation against flash-over voltage.
