1. An electrical switch comprising:

  • a body, a plurality of parallel pins mounted on the body, the pins being electrically conductive;

    a dielectric member mounted on the body and containing holes with which the pins align, the dielectric member and the pins being arranged such on the body that the relative positions of the dielectric member and the pins can be changed from a first position to a second position along the axis of the pins; and

    an electrically conductive contact plate mounted on the dielectric member and having apertures that align with the holes in the dielectric member, the apertures being configured to, in at least one of the positions, receive the pins while gripping the pins tightly along their edges, so as to change the condition of an electrical circuit to which the pins are connected.
