Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to an electrical switch, and, more particularly, to a cam follower mechanism for a rotary switch as found in a transmission selection rotary switch of a vehicle. A rotary switch suitable for use as a transmission gear selection switch. The switch includes a housing and a rotor rotationally connected to the housing, the rotor being rotational about a first axis. A cam follower connected to the rotor has a cam surface substantially centered about a radial axis, the radial axis being normal to the first axis. An electrical contact carried by the rotor has a contact surface spaced from the cam surface along the radial axis.
