Push-button or sliding-key switch

In the case of a push-button or sliding-key switch having a contact rocker which can be tilted about a stationary contact by operating the switching slide, is supported approximately in the centre of the longitudinal extent on the stationary contact such that it cannot be displaced but can be pivoted, is provided at at least one end of the contact rocker with a contact piece which can be pivoted towards and away from a stationary mating contact, and the contact rocker has allocated to it a leaf spring which runs parallel to it and via which an operating stud (which is provided on the switching slide) can be displaced in a sliding manner from one limit position over the stationary contact into the other limit position, the contact rocker tilting from one switching position into the other, according to the invention, the contact rocker (9) and the leaf spring (10) are formed from a single sprung strip section (3), which is bent around at one end (6) of the contact rocker (9) and is electrically highly conductive, and the leaf spring part (10) forming the leaf spring is constructed between the operating stud (20) and the stationary contact (12) in such a manner and inserted in a pretensioned manner such that it forms an oblique inclined track (22) for the operating stud (20) in the sliding region (23) of the operating stud (20) in the sliding direction towards the stationary contact (12) and towards the contact which is respectively switched on (7 and/or 7 or 8).
