Abstract: A switch section of a sliding-type DIP switch includes a slider and a pair of opposing contacts each consisting of a resilient metal plate member and having a V-shaped urged portion and a linear portion connected to the urged portion. When the slider is slid, each opposing side wall thereof presses the distal end of the respective urge portion of one contact into contact with the linear portion of the other contact to achieve a reliable electrical switching action. A number of these contact pairs are integrated with the bottom portion of a housing by insert molding to facilitate fabrication.
