Abstract
A movable contact unit, of which an upper surface of a movable contact made of a conductive metal plate is adhesively fixed to an adhesive layer formed on the underside of a base film, an upper surface of a separator is affixed to the adhesive layer in a manner to sandwich the movable contact between them, and the periphery of the movable contact is heated and pressed in a circular shape from above of the base film to form a convex-shaped portion in an area of base film corresponding to the movable contact in a manner to fit along a dome-like shape of the movable contact and to make a peripheral area or a base of the convex-shaped portion pressed circularly to close adhesion to the separator with the adhesive layer. By virtue of this structure, there can be an improvement of manufacturing efficiency of the movable contact unit.
