Abstract

A switch for selectively establishing a first conductive way between a first conductive fixed contact and a second conductive fixed contact or a second conductive way between the first conductive fixed contact and a third conductive fixed contact. The switch includes a housing and a pushbutton extending out of the housing and comprising a driving portion formed by an extension extending into the housing, the pushbutton being arranged, when an external force is applied to the pushbutton, to be moved relative to the housing between a first pushbutton active position in which the first conductive way is established and a second pushbutton active position in which the second conductive way is established.
