ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A slide switch includes a slide body having a movable electrical contact. An insulating housing for the sliding body is formed in a substantially inverted U-shaped and is provided with a slot to allow a knob to project therethrough and thus permit the sliding body to be manually manipulated. The housing also includes a number of projecting pins which are received within respective holes formed in a bottom insulating plate to provide connection between the housing and the plate. At least one pain of elongate conductive contact plates extend transversely relative to movement of the slide body (and hence relative to movements of the movable contact). Each of the conductive contact plates defines an aperture at one end thereof through which a respective one of the projecting pins of the housing passes before entering a respective one of the holes defined in the insulating plate. In this manner, the pair of contact plates are positioned within the housing and are, moreover, captured between the housing and the plate. Movement of the slide body, and hence the movable electrical contact, relative to the pair captured contact plates thereby makes and breaks an electrical circuit.
