Abstract
An electrical switch may include a support bearing contacts, at least one elastically deformable release element for establishing an electrical connection between two contacts, an actuation pusher that is configured to be movable relative to the support along an overall horizontal path in the plane of the plate bearing electronic components and a lever that is configured to be mounted in a hinged manner relative to the support about a horizontal axis and which converts the horizontal actuation force exerted on the pusher into a vertical release force applied to the release element. The lever may be elastically deformable to allow a movement of the pusher beyond the actuation position.
