Electrical switch with snap action dome shaped tripper

摘要

An electrical switch includes a snap dome tripper (36) whose center portion (37) snaps down when depressed by a predetermined amount, and a contact plate (44) with blades (50) that move down against terminals (26) to close the switch when the tripper snaps down, and to provide tactile feedback when the switch is closed. Instead of the center portion of the contact plate lying under the center portion of the tripper, the contact plate lies above the tripper and the contact blades project horizontally beyond the boundaries of the periphery of the tripper.
