Multi-Step Shorting Switch and Illumination Device

Abstract

The disclosure provides a multi-step shorting switch and an illumination device. The multi-step shorting switch includes a housing (1), wherein an upper surface or a side surface thereof is provided with an opening (111); a toggle device (2) provided in the housing (1), wherein a top portion or a side surface, corresponding to the above opening, of the toggle device (2) is provided with a toggle (21), the toggle (21) passes through the opening (111), and a bottom portion of the toggle device (2) is provided with a sliding contact member; and multiple contact terminals (31) provided on a substrate (3), wherein the sliding contact member (27) is configured to, in a sliding process caused by that the toggle (21) is shifted, simultaneously contact at least two of the multiple contact terminals (31), to form multiple steps which are continuously in a turn-on status without a turn-off status. The multi-step shorting switch according to the disclosure solves problems in the related art that a switch circuit structure is complicated and a double-sided Printed Circuit Board (PCB) board is required, and has the beneficial effects that a structure is simple, and it may work with or without a single-sided PCB board.
