ABSTRACT:
A sheet-shaped switch including a first insulating sheet having a plurality of fixed electrodes formed on an upper surface thereof, a second insulating sheet having movable electrodes which are formed on a lower surface thereof such that the movable electrodes are opposed to the fixed electrodes, and an insulating spacer sandwiched between the upper surface of the first insulating sheet and the lower surface of the second insulating sheet, the insulating spacer defining through-holes which are aligned with the fixed electrodes and the movable electrodes such that each fixed electrode is able to contact an associated movable electrode through one of the through-holes. Protrusions in the form of elongated ridges are disposed between the first insulating sheet and the insulating spacer and/or between the second insulating sheet and the insulating spacer, and are formed around the through holes within 5 mm of the through holes. The protrusions facilitate a thinner switch by allowing the insulating spacer to be 75 .mu.m or less.
