An electrical switch is provided which includes a pair of electrical leads, a
first structural support member, and a second structural support member. The first
structural support member is electrically conductive and is configured to support
one mating terminal comprising a snap-fitting, pivotable, and electrically conductive
battery terminal and another mating terminal comprising a stud terminal spaced
from the one mating terminal. A second structural support member has a positive
terminal connected with a first electrical lead and a negative terminal spaced
from the positive terminal and connected with a second electrical lead. One of
the positive terminal and the negative terminal comprises a snap-fitting, pivotable,
and electrically conductive battery terminal configured to mate with the one mating
terminal of the first structural support member and another of the positive terminal
and the negative terminal comprises an electrically conductive clasp configured
to mate in urgable engagement with the stud terminal of the another mating terminal
of the first structural support member corresponding with pivoting of the one terminal.
The one mating terminal is placed in electrically conductive relation with the
another mating terminal via the structural support member, and rotation between
the first structural support member and the second structural support member provides
an electrical on/off switch. A method is also provided.
