Abstract

A switch lever of a steering column switch for motor vehicles has an electric switch arranged at the free end of the switch lever and includes at least one switch component and a housing, which is inserted as a functional switch unit with its housing in a holder in the free end of the switch lever. In the free end of the switch lever there are first electric connection contacts with which corresponding second electric connection contacts on the switch unit can be put into operational connection on the insertion of said switch unit. This provides a switch lever, the assembly of which to the switch unit is simplified and which at the same time ensures reliable operation.
