Abstract: A telephone private switching equipment of the space-division operated type comprises a matrix of electronic switch cross-points each made of a single controllable two-state member connected across a conversation conductor of a row and a conversation conductor of a column of the matrix and having a trigger terminal connected through unidirectional members to both a cross-point activation conductor of this row and a cross-point activation conductor of this column, each row and each column comprising only these two conductors. Each column of the matrix is controlled from a cross-point selection control unit capable of applying trigger pulses to the cross-point activation conductor of the column and service voltages and currents to the conversation conductor of the column.
