ABSTRACT:
Membrane switch assembly comprises a substrate, a flexible membrane, and a separator between the substrate and the membrane. The substrate has circuit conductors thereon and has an integral tail onto which the conductors extend. The separator is a flexible film and has an integral tail insulator which extends over the surface of the tail in insulating relationship to the conductors on the tail. The tail insulator has an opening adjacent to its end through which the tail extends so that the end portions of the conductors are exposed and can be connected to external circuitry. In alternative embodiments, the tail insulator may extend from the membrane or from an additional layer or covering panel which is positioned in covering relationship to the membrane. Also, the tail may extend from the membrane in which case the tail insulator can extend from either the separator or the substrate.
