Abstract
A miniature switch utilizes a flexible diaphragm which seals the switch. The diaphragm is compressed sealably against a cover by a spring biased inverted cup which compresses the diaphragm outwardly against the cover. The switch is actuated by pressing the diaphragm to displace the cup against the biasing action of the spring. The cup is conductive and bridges across poles of the switch to complete a momentary switch operation.
