An electric switch for a household appliance, in particular a cooker, wherein the electric switch is designed to apply different commands to the household appliance through a single control knob of the household appliance, the switch being equipped with a switch group which is placed inside a chamber and whereon circuit members are positioned, wherein at the input of the switch group, there are a plurality of input terminals and there are terminal housings; wherein the input terminals are placed in said terminal housings; wherein the electric switch moreover comprises output terminals whose contact with the input is controlled by a movable contact; wherein said switch output terminals are connectable through electrical cables to the members which are desired to be controlled; wherein on the output terminals, there are cable apertures where the cables can be connected through which signals are transferred; wherein the electrical connection between the output terminals and the input terminals is controlled by movable contacts; wherein there are tabs which are positioned in a certain arrangement on a switch shaft; wherein when the switch shaft is rotated around the own axis thereof, these tabs correspond onto the related movable contact, and they make said contact change position, accordingly, it brings the circuit between the input terminals and output terminals to the open or closed position; and wherein the switch is equipped with a branching piece having - a body, - a terminal holding part which provides connection to a desired output terminal of the switch output terminals, and - at least two branching arms (41, 42) whereon the electrical cables arriving to the related loads are connected in order to multiplex the electrical signal exiting the input terminal of the switch, characterized in that, - the terminal holding part is designed to provide connection in such way that said at least two branching arms (41, 42) are at a higher point than the switch output terminals, - wherein the branching piece is connected on the upper part of the desired output terminal, and the first and the second branching arm (41, 42) of the branching piece is at a higher point than the other output terminals; wherein since the branching arms (41, 42) are at a higher level, the cables connected to the branching piece are at a higher level than the cables connected to the other output terminals and a contact between the cables is prevented and - wherein said at least two branching arms (41, 42) are at a higher point than the switch terminals and than the holding part providing connection to these terminals. - a body, - a terminal holding part which provides connection to a desired output terminal of the switch output terminals, and - at least two branching arms (41, 42) whereon the electrical cables arriving to the related loads are connected in order to multiplex the electrical signal exiting the input terminal of the switch, characterized in that, - the terminal holding part is designed to provide connection in such way that said at least two branching arms (41, 42) are at a higher point than the switch output terminals, - wherein the branching piece is connected on the upper part of the desired output terminal, and the first and the second branching arm (41, 42) of the branching piece is at a higher point than the other output terminals; wherein since the branching arms (41, 42) are at a higher level, the cables connected to the branching piece are at a higher level than the cables connected to the other output terminals and a contact between the cables is prevented and - wherein said at least two branching arms (41, 42) are at a higher point than the switch terminals and than the holding part providing connection to these terminals.
