Abstract

In a potentiometer selector switch, it is proposed to arrange on a circuit board, in indirect arrangement, longitudinal contacts consisting of wire bridges which are swept by the wiper of a regulating element forming the actuating element of the switch when the wiper is rotated or displaced. The wire bridges forming the longitudinal contacts are insulated from each other on one side of the circuit board and at least one end of each of the bridges passes through the board to the conductor side where it is connected electrically and fixed mechanically, preferably by dip soldering.
