Abstract: A wireform contactor assembly provides a self-retained cantilever-type sliding electrical contactor that is easy to assemble, solderable, and easily separated into electrically isolated contact legs using a severable connecting portion to join a pair of generally U-shaped legs. A carrier includes a clip or other retaining members to secure the wire contactor to the carrier and allow sliding engagement of the assembly with an extender or sliding member. The wireform contactor is made of a resilient material, such as a conductively coated phosphor bronze wire, and secured in a cantilever arrangement within the carrier to facilitate electrical coupling of the contactor and conductors on the sliding member. The modular assembly may be used to provide remote switching or coupling perpendicular to a printed circuit board, for example.

Abstract: A multifunction switch pod or controller for controlling electronic vehicular features such as the windshield wipers and headlamps. The multifunction switch pod or controller comprises at least one circuit board having a front surface and at least one solid state rotatable dial attached to the circuit board. The multifunction switch pod or controller may further comprise push-button switch cells attached to the circuit board for controlling additional electronic vehicular features. A cover covers the circuit board for protection from the environment.
