Abstract
A low profile switch has a base with a contact pin extending through the base. The pin is press fit into a hole in the base such that the pin itself seals that hole. A movable contact including a central dome portion overlies the contact pin. The dome portion is movable into and out of contact with the pin. A gasket is disposed between the periphery of the movable contact and the base. A retainer clamps the movable contact against the gasket and urges the gasket into sealing engagement with the base to provide a sealed interior for the switch. The retainer has legs which are clinched on the under side of the base. A slidable button provides an actuating member.
