ABSTRACT:
A laminate switch assembly or keyboard comprises a tensioned dome switch plate having improved durability which provides tactile feedback to the operator. Each tensioned dome on the switch plate is aligned with an electrical contact area formed on a printed circuit board so that depression of the dome completes an electrical circuit through the aligned contact area. Each tensioned dome is surrounded by a reinforcing collar or band which relieves the stresses normally produced in the transition area between the switch domes and the remaining planar portion of the switch plate.
