Abstract
A switch assembly comprises a substrate (10) having conductive traces providing contacts (23) on the substrate (10) and a connector (21) positioned over the substrate (10). The connector (10) includes an actuator area (33) and a selectively conductive area (22) located perpendicular to the actuator area (33). The selectively conductive area (22) is located over the contacts (23) and is made electrically conductive with the contacts (23), when the connector (21) is shorted with an actuator, the actuator area being at a fight angle to the conductive traces.
