Patent ID: 6998546

Claim:
A switch assembly for providing control signals to an electrical motor in a vehicle comprising: a printed circuit board having traces for communicating said control signals to said electrical motor; a contactor module including a set of depressible plungers and a set of contactor members, said contactor module being slideable with respect to said printed circuit board between an actuated position where said set of contactor members contact said traces and a deactivated position where said set of contactor members do not contact said traces; and a housing for encasing said printed circuit board and said contactor module, said housing including a set of detents for variably depressing said set of depressible plungers as said contactor module slides with respect to said printed circuit board; wherein a tactile feedback is generated in response to said detents depressing said depressible plungers, wherein at least one detent of said set of detents is pivotable, and wherein said at least one pivotable detent pivots as one of said depressible plungers slides across said at least one pivotable detent for generating said tactile feedback.
