ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed providing a hermetically sealed impact switch that is non-critical to humidity and less susceptible to corrosion. The impact switch consists of a cover, a base, and a flexible beam disposed there between. Mounted in the cover and extending into a cavity created by the cover and flexible beam is a pair of contact pins, each electrically isolated from the cover and each other. Mounted to the flexible beam is a mass, which may be a piezoelectric crystal or the like. By utilizing a pair of pins, rather than one pin, the flexible beam may be mounted directly to the cover and base without an insulating bonding material which can cause corrosion of the contact pins.
