ABSTRACT:
A membrane switch including a rubber dome, an insulation layer, a membrane and an electric-conductive support plate is provided. The membrane switch is ON as the pair of non-contacting circuit leads is forced to contact with the support plate due to the force applied on the rubber dome. As the rubber dome is free of an external force, the pair of non-contacting circuit leads is spaced from the support plate, resulting in an OFF state of the membrane switch.
