Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric switch having a hollow body defining a cavity, an actuator, and a slide mounted in said cavity. Under the action of the actuator, the slide is suitable for passing from a first position, in which at least one conductive portion of the slide is electrically connected via permanent breakable electrical junctions to at least two primary electrically-conductive studs that lead laterally into said cavity to a second position in which at least one of said primary electrically-conductive studs is no longer electrically connected to said conductive portion of the slide.
