Abstract (en)
An improved electrical switch providing a low electrical-resistance connection and a simple, inherent wiping action of the contact surfaces. The improved electrical switch includes a pair of electrical contacts, an insulating board disposed between the electrical contacts, and a switch mechanism. The insulating board has a wadded-wire connector element disposed in an opening in the insulating board at a position corresponding to the electrical contacts. The wadded-wire connector element makes electrical contact at multiple points when compressed against a contact surface by the switch mechanism, thus wiping the contact surfaces free of any film or surface contamination and providing a low electrical-resistance connection.
