The invention disclosed herein is directed to a tilt action switch using a ball bearing as the movable contact in a body portion. The body portion includes upper and lower segments formed of conductive material. The upper and lower segments are attached together to provide a cavity within which the ball bearing movable contact is positioned. The upper and lower segments each include normally extending support portions with inner surfaces. The inner surface of the upper and lower segments are part with an insulating spacer.
