ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a membrane switch. The membrane switch includes a switch assembly having a switch frame coupled to the switch assembly. The switch frame is sandwiched between various layers of the membrane, thus holding it in place. The lower surface of the membrane is coated with an adhesive. Once installed in an electronic device, the adhesive layer secures the membrane as well as the switch assembly in place. The adhesive layer serves to form a waterproof barrier between the membrane and the switch assembly.
