Abstract

The present invention discloses a current switching device and a method for manufacturing the same. The current switching device comprises a cover, a base, a plurality of metal terminals, a switching element, and at least two contact pieces; the base and the cover are combined with each other to form an accommodating space; the plurality of metal terminals are arranged in an asymmetrical shape and buried in the base; the switching element is disposed in the accommodating space; the two contact pieces are disposed on the switching element and comprises at least two contact points respectively, wherein all the contact points contact different metal terminals, and then each contact piece can conduct electricity between two metal terminals; the contact positions between the two contact pieces and the plurality of metal terminals can be changed by the rotary swing of the switching element, so as to switch the current direction.
