Abstract
The invention comprises a rocker switch which includes a rocker member having an actuating surface, a bottom surface, and a pivot member. A circuit board has a dome switch mounted thereon. A bracket is secured to the circuit board having a pivot guide to receive the pivot member. A elastomeric member is received between the bottom surface of the rocker member and the dome switch. Actuation of the rocker member presses the bottom surface of the rocker member against the elastomeric member which presses against the dome switch thereby activating the switch.
