Abstract: A low cost miniature illuminated pushbutton switch 10 for soldering to a circuit board (23), which avoids damage to an LED during such soldering to the board. The pushbutton assembly, which slides between outward and inward positions, includes a molded plastic frame (32), sheet metal pushbutton conductors (60, 62, 64) mounted on the frame, and an LED (36) having a bulb (74) lying forward of the frame and having leads (40, 42) joined to front ends of two of the pushbutton conductors. The pushbutton assembly also has a pushbutton depressing element (44) with a through passage (130) that surrounds the bulb and extends forward of the bulb, the pushbutton element having an inward end (132) that joins to the pushbutton frame through lugs (136).

Abstract: A switchlock assembly with snap-in cam for mounting in a panel from the front with the panel cutout being smaller than the cam radius. The switchlock assembly comprises a switch base, a shell, a plug operable by a key, the cam and a latch clip. The latch clip prevents the plug from being removed from the shell. The latch clip also secures the cam within the plug and prevents the cam from being removed, but does not prevent the cam from rotating when a key is inserted into the plug of the switchlock assembly and turned. Switch tumblers and tumbler splines enable a key to be pulled out in a designated position, but not to allow the key to be pulled out 180 degrees from the designated key pull position.
