Printed circuit board switch

A switch subassembly adapted for combination with a circuit board comprising:

• (a) a non-conducting elongated housing shaped to include a circular post sized for insertion into opening on said circuit board and having a beveled outer edge, the outermost length of the post shaft having a larger diameter than the innermost part, creating a shoulder at the junction of the two sizes of the post;
• said post having a first slot cut therein, the centerline of said slot in said post coincidental with the centerline of the housing base long dimension, also said post having a second slot cut therein, perpendicular to said first slot;
• said housing also including a raised section on either end, each said section having a notch cut into the raised section, said notch having the same width and a centerline coincident with said centerline of said first notch;
• said housing also to include a handle at one end of housing;
• and
• (b) a conductive spring, formed as a flat ribbon, having two contact surfaces, with a concave shape between the two contact surfaces, and each end bent downward to provide support for said contact surfaces, located in said housing in said first slot in said shaft, the ends of said spring fitted in said notches cut into raised sections of said housing.
