Abstract

See full text

A miniature screw switch assembly is provided with side extending leads that are spaced apart at DIP standard distances. Each segment of the segmented body, which facilitates separation into individual switches, is molded around a pair of opposed, lead contact portions. A socket is provided in the segment between the contact portions for receiving a headed screw forming a bridging member between the two pole forming contact portions. Central portions of the leads extend substantially perpendicular from the body and segment sides and are bent downwardly at right angles to terminate in end portions. The end portions are intended to be inserted in through openings in printed circuit boards or surface-mounted on printed circuit boards. The disclosed assembly facilitates automatic manufacture, carrying to circuit board assembliers and insertion or surface-mounting on circuit boards.
