FIELD: electrical communication engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electric switch comprising base and drive (126), installed with possibility of rotation in base (110) between two stable positions for establishment of contact or interruption of contact between movable contact element and fixed contact element. Compressible element (150) can be inactive relative to drive (126), so that drive can freely occupy one or other of two stable positions, and can enter between support surface of base and drive (126) and be pressed to drive (126), forcing drive (126) to occupy only one of two stable positions. Holding element (117) is made integral with the base and is configured to hold compressible element (150) in its inactive state relative to drive (126) and with possibility of reversible movement between holding position, in which it holds compressible element (150) in its inactive position relative to drive (126), and retracted position, in which it allows compressible element (150) to freely extend to drive (126).
EFFECT: technical result is provision of back-and-forth operation mode and push button mode.
