Abstract: A method for mounting an electrical slide switch on a printed circuit board having apertures formed therein by means of a wave soldering after putting protective material between the electrical lead contacts. The switch is then cleaned by passing a solvent through the open areas after which the protective material is removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an improved miniature electrical slide switch and method of mounting the same and, more particularly, to such a switch which has a flush through design and a self-adjusting contact arrangement.

Abstract: A contact switch assembly and method for its manufacture utilizing a resilient dome having electrically conductive surfaces which is positioned on a unitary sheet of plastic or membrane which has a circuit pattern deposited thereon, the circuit pattern forming the contact and contactor means of the switch. In assembly, said membrane is folded upon itself so that the contact and contactor are positioned in a spaced-apart alignment, separated by the resilient dome, whereby upon depression of said dome, electrical contact is established between the contact and contactor through the electrically conductive surfaces of the dome.
