Abstract: A switch unit operable with help of rocker switches for control units is disclosed herein. The switch unit is provided with a compact unit for actuating electrical contacts on circuit boards by moving push-button switches by means of push-button caps. The caps are each connected to a swiveling lever which is pivoted in a rotary bearing. Each of the swiveling levers applies mechanical pressure contact to the respective push-button switch when the respective push-button cap is rocked. The compact unit is provided with a fixed part having a circuit board. Each of the push-button switches is located sandwich-like, above and below the circuit board. The circuit board is also inserted into a groove of the rotary bearing. The compact unit is also provided with guiding parts, each itself provided with a guiding forming and a leaf spring in each guiding forming. The compact unit is also provided with a moving part in the form of the swiveling lever pivotable about the rotary bearing.
