Push-button arrangement for e.g. computer keyboard, has switching dome inserted into recess and fixed in recess by elastic forces of dome switching element, where elastic forces act transverse to actuation direction

摘要

The arrangement has a circuit carrier (4) for carrying electrical contacts. A dome switching element (3) includes a monostable rubbery-elastic switching dome (5) for closing or separating the electrical contacts on the circuit carrier. A positively-driven plunger (1) releases a switching function by pressurization of the switching dome. The plunger includes a recess (10). The switching dome is inserted into the recess and fixed in the recess by elastic forces of the switching element, where the elastic forces act transverse to an actuation direction. The plunger exhibits a shape of a ram.
